Agreed. |

Still, it did raise my eyebrows to see him mentioned as a proxy. While |
12 |
he has a good point that it doesn't seem to be in the rules, IMO it's |
13 |
simply too divisive at present. Maybe in five years or a decade... |
14 |
now's not the time (again, IMO). |

Being open to cooperation is one thing. But when it makes a difference, |
22 |
Gentoo council members /should/ be primarily concerned with Gentoo. with |
23 |
cooperation with others important, but definitely secondary to the well- |
24 |
being of Gentoo. After all, it's the /Gentoo/ council, not the |
25 |
/community/ council. |
26 |
|
27 |
Were I voting (I'm not), I'd vote on what I saw as the merits of |
28 |
individual members in regard to Gentoo, preferably without regard to |
29 |
Exherbo or other community involvement, tho now that it's specifically |
30 |
posted, I'd likely count that as a minor negative for all but one, |
31 |
choosing one where it'd be a minor positive, as I see no problem with |
32 |
having a single person who can present issues for another part of the |
33 |
community, but again, it's not the Exherbo council, it's the Gentoo |
34 |
council, and IMO it should behave as it's labeled. Dual allegiances |
35 |
aren't a big issue in themselves if they're spread out enough, but |
36 |
weighed as heavily toward one external entity as suggested here isn't a |
37 |
good thing at all IMO. |
38 |
|
39 |
But if that's what gets voted in, well, I guess the devs have spoken, as |
40 |
I suppose they have if all those candidates now get ranked below |
41 |
reopen_nominations. |
