Meant by what part of the above response? Written 6 months ago? |

What did you think I meant about what? |

Again, I have no objection to people forking projects, it's great, and |
| 49 |
fun to watch happen. Fork away on your own site, with whom ever you |
| 50 |
want to. |
| 51 |
|
| 52 |
But if this fork is now the "official Gentoo fork", owned by the Gentoo |
| 53 |
Foundation, and it's the way forward that Gentoo the distro is going to |
| 54 |
take with regards to how the boot process works on the system, then I |
| 55 |
have something to say about it, as it affects me, a Gentoo developer. |
| 56 |
|
| 57 |
And that is how this thread started, I wanted to know what was the |
| 58 |
resolution of the council meeting with the very unclear and vague |
| 59 |
meeting minutes. I have yet to get that answer, which is troubling. |
