While implementing a new policy may not be the right approach (or so I'm |
26 |
hearing from the community), I can bring forward at least 3 examples of |
27 |
significant changes that were not discussed. I don't think I would have |
28 |
difficulty convincing people of this fact. If we do not enact policy |
29 |
then how is this problem addressed? |

31 |
As far as "driving people away" I will shift my efforts to recruiting. |
32 |
I am a professor and can get more students into Gentoo development. We |
33 |
cannot adopt a de facto situation where devs can misbehave because they |
34 |
are indispensable. |
