I'd second almost everything Caleb said. I do feel, that Daniel should |
2 |
come back. And if he does I'll try to come back to the developers |
3 |
(which I left some time ago). not that I think this will make any |
4 |
difference, but just wanted to express my opinion as well. |
5 |
|
6 |
and when I hear peoples' concerns about handing him control of Gentoo, |
7 |
I have only one question in return - any better options? cause what we |
8 |
have now proved to be quite a failure. |
