24 Rémi,
25
26 I think that GLEP55 has failed so far because it has always been
27 inadequately documented in the GLEP.
28
29 My view is that its worth documenting the problem and potential
30 solutions properly and having one more go. Thats why I'm putting my
31 time into editing the GLEP now.
32
33 The problem won't be addressed by spending time on something else.
34 The one big problem needs to be broken down recursively into smaller
35 problems that can be addressed individually, rather like a very old
36 asteriods game.
37
38 If we get a solution, Gentoo can be first into the future again, if
39 not, we will always be last out of the past.
40
41 Gentoo needs a way to introduce new features without waiting over a
42 year to provide backwards compatibility.
