been made to important parts of Gentoo like e.g. Python, and this didn't |

Being a council member means you have to deal with it. I don't think |

When discussions die, probably this is because noone could come up with |

a clear enough problem, and directed discussion to come to some |

help to improve the situation. It just makes some happy and others |
24 |
angry. |
