Some might seen Daniel as a deserter, sell out for leaving much less |
4 |
going to work for M$, and so on. Granted while he was gone, many things |
5 |
have changed. I am sure he is trying to catch up on all that. I am also |
6 |
sure he is appreciative and thankful for all those who kept Gentoo going |
7 |
and moving forward in his absence. |

But let us all not forget that just like with Linus, without Daniel and |
10 |
his past efforts there would be no Gentoo. In that regard I think we all |
11 |
owe him a level of professional respect and politeness. Which we all |
12 |
also owe each other as well. |

|
14 |
Granted he like us all is human, and we all make mistakes. No one of use |
15 |
knows everything about all things, past, present, and future. I believe |
16 |
he has good intentions with his return to the project. |
17 |
|
18 |
I think to a certain extend we should follow his lead, because |
19 |
indirectly we already are. We are working on a project he started, under |
20 |
foundations, and other things that were mostly put into place by him. |
21 |
|
22 |
So I we can cut him some slack, and we should all have some level of |
23 |
respect, at least in public, towards the father, creator, and founder of |
24 |
Gentoo. |

IMHO, from a rather new dev ~7months. So please do not set me on fire or |
27 |
stake me. |
