And this type of argumentation is *exactly* the reason why I am bringing up |

the agenda topic. |

Either we have a specification (and then we should either stick to it or |
10 |
improve it) or we don't. Still regularly coming up with "blah blah this was |
11 |
before PMS, serious infighting between devs, portage was perfectly fine, no I |
12 |
won't fix anything" after 8 (EIGHT) years is not an option anymore. |

The main reason for the deadline proposal is that maintainers get their |
15 |
backsides moving. |

Yes one possible fix indeed is a PMS improvement, we all know this probably |
18 |
will surpass all deadline time requirements. |

However, if there is no motion in an issue AT ALL, the deadline should make it |
21 |
possible to bypass maintainers and delegate a solution to QA at some point. No |
22 |
more stalling. |
