4 It was my understanding,
5 That minor QA violations like this, which affected the sanity of the
6 tree, were simply added as checks to repoman - which all committing devs
7 should use. This would (over time) stop new ebuilds of the broken form
8 appearing, and would flag existing ones as a QA violation. It would
9 also prevent the mistake from being made in future, and seems the best
10 and easiest place to stem the flow from.
11 Whilst not a conspiracy theorist, and whilst also agreeing with the
12 decision to restrict multiple suffixes of certain types, I am a little
13 concerned over the haste, announcement to -dev and general backlash
14 that's been seen here. I'm sure other violations never featured such
15 dramatic measures. How were they dealt with previously?
