What began as me experimenting and moving code around to see what was |
| 27 |
the best approach to begin addressing several issues has suddenly turned |
| 28 |
into a war. Pacho, I am not sure whether it is possible or the best way |
| 29 |
to proceed. I say that with neutrality because I haven't figured out |
| 30 |
everything that's there. |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
The two edged sword here is that, while I want to do the thinking out |
| 33 |
loud where people can see what I'm considering in code changes and |
| 34 |
participate, I opened the flood gate for a lot of anger. I woke up to |
| 35 |
see the name of the repo changed and a legal threats being thrown around. |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
I know that by my very sending of this email, I will have a lot of CC's |
| 38 |
coming back at me with criticisms about things I didn't know I had even |
| 39 |
taken a stand on. |
| 40 |
|
| 41 |
There is one pressing issue though. It is my understanding that the |
| 42 |
council would like to see where this gets in one months time and stayed |
| 43 |
off a vote on udev. There are strong feelings for openrc and a |
| 44 |
systemd-less udev. These will not go away irrespective of this project. |
