9 That's fine for technical problems: it's a lot harder to use that to deal
10 with social problems. For a start, it would be seen as off-topic, and it
11 would take a very brave user indeed to file a {user,dev}rel bug. I guess
12 what I am getting at is that users need to be molly-coddled to a certain
13 extent: they're in a position of less power and not so comfortable with the
14 processes.

30 Sure; but if they're going to leave that's up to them. Scaring em off (which
31 is how "if you don't like it, there's the door" sounds) isn't in Gentoo's
32 interest imo.
