Those two reasons (offset, no manifesto) are IMO /the/ (singular) reason |
12 |
you were the #1 pick. |
13 |
|
14 |
You are highly respected for your "no fuss, just do it, make it work" |
15 |
attitude, while respecting other devs' territory, over a relatively long |
16 |
period with Gentoo. It's that same attitude that had you running with no |
17 |
manifesto, either they've worked with you long enough and respect you and |
18 |
your judgment and positions well enough to support you, or they don't, no |
19 |
manifesto need apply. In fact, a manifesto would have contradicted that |
20 |
reputation, and as such, you'd have only lost votes putting one up. |
21 |
|
22 |
The offset thing simply reinforced that. Think about it. |

Has potential. Keeps it out of the council's hair until time for the |
30 |
recommendation and up/down vote. |

Wow! Users thank you too. That's why people voted for you. Looking |
48 |
forward to Gentoo's new year! =:^) |
