Please point to where the Council said that the Gentoo KDE project |
16 |
wasn't an official Gentoo project. |

Sure there is. Let's look at what happens if you remove it: |
21 |
|
22 |
* It makes it harder for package manager authors to deal with things |
23 |
that were delivered by an official Gentoo project. |
24 |
|
25 |
* It makes doing future EAPIs more work, since we'll almost certainly |
26 |
end up rewriting things that we'd be taking out. |
27 |
|
28 |
As much as you might like to rewrite history to pretend it never |
29 |
existed, the fact is, kdebuild-1 did exist and we're better off |
30 |
acknowledging that. |
