9 I totally agree with you, Ben. Frankly, this discussion (of ebuild Author
10 comments) is not worthy of the time that people have been putting into it. I
11 would much rather have developers focus on Gentoo Linux proper and getting
12 ebuilds tested and fixed. We always have #gentoo if you just want to chat
13 about new ideas or new ways of doing things. But frankly, we already have lots
14 of good ideas; the main problem we have is a lack of manpower to implement
15 them. If people will help with the tough stuff, these little things will
16 take care of themselves.
