16 I'm sorry, but discussing such stuff affecting pretty much everyone who
17 writes ebuilds among a couple of people simply isn't enough to make this a
18 policy. And then silently applying this and starting to scream "QA
19 violation, look, what a nasty QA violation!!!" is plain ridiculous.

21 Punting every single piece of broken sh*t from the tree requires notifying
22 everyone on -dev ml and allowing a period of time before it's actually done,
23 so silently changing/stating policies is a very broken practice.
