That wasn't entirely clear. |

That wasn't clear either. |

I'd be happier if you responded my proposal of changing the meaning of |
| 15 |
mirror://gentoo - the mirror sync scripts could take care of the entire |
| 16 |
thing by forever storing files described that way. That way, no |
| 17 |
ebuilds/eclasses using mirror://gentoo would need changing, and we |
| 18 |
could conveniently move away from using dev.gentoo.org for availability |
| 19 |
of old self-hosted SRC_URI files. |

(This is probably why several people have requested you propose this |
| 22 |
change to the developer community instead of wearing your QA hat and |
| 23 |
pretending to lay down the law - I see QA as the executor of common |
| 24 |
sense, technically sensible, commonly approved approaches to problems, |
| 25 |
i.e. generally approved policy, not in the role of policy maker. If |
| 26 |
we've been doing things against policy for years, then maybe we should |
| 27 |
change the policy, or at least discuss it without the pretence of a |
| 28 |
developer hierarchy.) |
