This "no QA" accusation is a complete myth. QA led by actual Gentoo |
| 6 |
developers is indeed in place at Sunrise [1]. Every single |
| 7 |
user-authored submission made available in the public overlay was |
| 8 |
placed there by existing Gentoo developers who've reviewed and |
| 9 |
approved them. When you check out Sunrise using layman for instance, |
| 10 |
you are getting what's known as the "reviewed" tree, not the tree that |
| 11 |
users commit directly to. If these facts still don't assuage your |
| 12 |
concerns then don't use the Sunrise overlay -- it's that simple. |

I suspect this myth perpetuates because its supporters haven't |
| 15 |
actually bothered to review the Sunrise procedures [2] already in |
| 16 |
place and in use. Another source of enlightenment which many, if not |
| 17 |
all, of the detractors don't seem to have indulged in is dropping by |
| 18 |
#gentoo-sunrise and watching the Sunrise process as it happens in |
| 19 |
practice. Please do your homework people, otherwise you're just |
| 20 |
spreading FUD. |
