Like what? It sounds like they aren't providing anything but tarballs. |

Because it's *REALLY* stupid and shows just how unprofessional we are |
21 |
when we have multiple groups doing the *EXACT* same thing using |
22 |
different policies and procedures and all pushing it as if it were |
23 |
*OFFICIAL* for the distribution. |
24 |
|
25 |
I mean, we're really getting to the point where this is getting |
26 |
*COMPLETELY* ludicrous. Instead of trying to work together, we have |
27 |
every yahoo with an @gentoo.org address who wants to do something |
28 |
*slightly* differently coming up with a new "project" for it. |

Why can't we simply try to work *together* on things instead of this |
31 |
whole "I'll start a new project" mentality that we have? It seems that |
32 |
this *exact* sort of action is what causes frustrations between |
33 |
developers and serves to strengthen the territorial pissing contests |
34 |
that are going on daily all over Gentoo. The reason why it seems Gentoo |
35 |
is fracturing is because of multiple people doing the exact same thing |
36 |
in slightly different ways. Our users don't know what the hell is going |
37 |
on anymore. Well, they're not alone... neither do I. |
