11 no attempt was made to summarize anything at all. the article merely linked
12 to all existing posts made by Gentoo developers. if no Gentoo developer made
13 a post that supported Daniel's proposal, then it isnt exactly possible to
14 link to it now is it ? at any rate, the general opinion was reflected in the
15 aforementioned blog posts. taking a yes/no poll is garbage as the options
16 are garbage. you cant approach the issue that way.
