Could you be a little more polite about our users _please_? There was |
9 |
a day when I was just "some random user", just as there was for you |
10 |
and everyone else who is, or has been, a Gentoo dev. |

Here's one thing I don't get. We have a project (Gentoo Seeds), which |
13 |
is attracting interest and volunteers both from inside the Gentoo dev |
14 |
ranks and (especially) outside. Granted, it's not a lot of people, |
15 |
but interest is always welcome. Assuming we go on, and are successful |
16 |
in establishing a sustainable project, that translates into extra |
17 |
folks working on releases (and fresh eyes to boot). It might only be |
18 |
one or two people, but that's still one or two people more than what |
19 |
we had midnight last Sunday. |

Given all the complaints from releng in general (and Chris in |
22 |
particular) about there not being _enough_ folks working on releases, |
23 |
isn't this a _great_ opportunity for releng to recruit some |
24 |
additional, motivated folks to help solve that problem? Can't you see |
25 |
that? |
26 |
|
27 |
How much of a dent in this opportunity do you think this afternoon's |
28 |
outpouring has made? How many folks, reading what you've said (and |
29 |
what you've ignored), will still feel motivated to consider maybe |
30 |
moving on to releng in the future? |
31 |
|
32 |
Could you have a think about that, and re-consider the unnecessary |
33 |
hostility and unjustified accusations that you're filling this thread |
34 |
with? |
35 |

Many thanks, |
