I appreciate your work on this - and you may call them the loud minority |
| 13 |
- but this could definitely have been handled better. Instead of |
| 14 |
viewing their complaints as an annoyance, view it as a learning point to |
| 15 |
possibly realize that you're affecting a lot of desktops and people's |
| 16 |
updates are suddenly stopping. I realize that this was mentioned in the |
| 17 |
GWN, but not everyone subscribes to every possible news outlet for |
| 18 |
Gentoo even if they use Gentoo, and the only one that is "guaranteed" to |
| 19 |
get to them is a portage checkout, which is why news items are good, |
| 20 |
especially when something like this occurs. Instead of belittling the |
| 21 |
users because they are wasting so much of your time, try to empathize |
| 22 |
with them a bit and realize that they are running into an actual issue |
| 23 |
that could have been avoided easily with this news item. |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
That said, the news item looks good to me, and yeah it may be a bit late |
| 26 |
now since this already happened. |
