What is your reasoning for this? |

As I mentioned on the -council voting thread, I am concerned about a |
| 21 |
constant influx of new members every 6 months making it very difficult |
| 22 |
to make any progress. Do you think that won't be a problem? If so, what |
| 23 |
makes you think that? |

I'm assuming you mean a vote by all Gentoo devs, since an election |
| 30 |
generally involves voting for a person rather than a policy. |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
Just as a point of reference, the council has voted to change GLEP 39 in |
| 33 |
the past. I definitely feel that we need to hold this discussion |
| 34 |
publicly and get input from everyone. I think the council should then |
| 35 |
take all this input into consideration and vote upon it. |
