Not because of any experiences with such services, but rather that this will |
| 10 |
start lots of negative criticism about Gentoo; it's seen as discriminatory |
| 11 |
and lots of people will question how "free" Gentoo will remain. |

|
| 13 |
Such a project would also interfere in the current development as many |
| 14 |
developers hope that Gentoo will provide a stable tree one day. If we for |
| 15 |
any reason would obtain sufficient resources to provide such a tree (for |
| 16 |
free) it might provide some heated discussions. And after all, QA and |
| 17 |
stability is what we are all after, aren't we? |

Lastly, is -trustees really the place to be discussing this? |

The approach of the Commission and Council in this directive is shocking. |
| 27 |
They are making full use of all the possibilities of evading democracy that |
| 28 |
the current Community Law provides. <http://lwn.net/Articles/84009/> |
