Would the Arch Linux forums ever switch to Discourse? (self.archlinux)

Currently, the Arch Linux Forums uses FluxBB which, while it does work, is rather dated, and could use a fresh coat of paint. The hot forum software of the day seems to be Discourse. Does Arch Linux have any interest in switching to that?

Every serious discussion that I've heard between staff about this idea has been basically met with "eww, fuck no"

Apparently it's a giant PITA to host/admin, and nobody wants to take on the increased workload to switch away from what's already working just fine.
