I prefer proposing things, then see reactions and feedbacks, instead of |
| 16 |
starting endless discussions, especially in the gentoo community. If you come |
| 17 |
with precise proposition, it's easy to say yes/no to it, and to make things |
| 18 |
evolve quickly. |

So of course users are the goal, but we want to propose things, not discuss 3 |
| 21 |
months long |
