While treecleaners really doesn't have anything to do with PMS; I am a |
| 16 |
portage dev. However I'm not really interested in writing the spec |
| 17 |
itself; I plan on looking at it when it is closer to completion. I |
| 18 |
don't claim to have the requisite bash or ebuild magic to author this |
| 19 |
document (nor do I really care about certain aspects of PMS). |

|
| 21 |
I'm more concerned about people changing the tree for paludis |
| 22 |
compatability; but in most of the cases I've seen the changes requested |
| 23 |
seemed reasonable to me. |

I think the whole deal is blown out of proportion, mostly because many |
| 26 |
people dislike Ciaran, and unfortunately Ciaran dislikes (or distrusts, |
| 27 |
may be a better word) many other people (myself and Brian Harring |
| 28 |
included). If the aim is to get everyone to work together to make a big |
| 29 |
happy spec; I just don't see it happening (the teams really don't get |
| 30 |
along well when discussing technical issues). The only potential issue |
| 31 |
is that PMS comes out and the aforementioned 'meddlers' make their |
| 32 |
statements and it is a situation that is beyond reconcilliation. You've |
| 33 |
basically written a PMS that may never get approved just because we will |
| 34 |
never agree on a standard anyway (due to specific differences in how we |
| 35 |
view a PM working). |

In essence, delaying all the confrontation to the end. Which is cool |
| 38 |
with me; tbh ;) |
