So, you admit breaking the policy of gentoo-dev being a optional ML
for developers[1]

I really dislike the recent trend of some newer developers trying to force
everything to be discussed here, even if the involved people have already
discussed it elsewhere with relavent people

[1]
http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/devrel/handbook/handbook.xml?full=1#book_part1_chap3

"3.h. Mailing lists
All developers must be subscribed to the gentoo-core and
gentoo-dev-announce mailing lists. All developers should be subscribed
to gentoo-dev and gentoo-project,"

*should*, not *must*

Likewise, http://devmanual.gentoo.org/general-concepts/virtuals/index.html

"Before adding a new virtual, it should be discussed on |gentoo-dev|."

*should*, not *must*

You can't change the policies on your own without rest of the QA team,
rest of the council, and so forth.

QA is for enforcing estabilished policies, not making up them as you go
based on your personal likes and dislikes.

Futhermore no productive discussion has happened here as you masqueraded
the use of subslotting you supposedly want to be discussed,
to be somehow udev specific.
But that's not suprising as you yourself admitted you started all of
this only because you saw the word 'udev':

Freenode, #gentoo-qa, at the same time you started this endeavour:

18:19 <@Zero_Chaos> granted, the udev changes sparked this line of thought.

So, congratulations for making the QA team look like a crapshoot once again.
