Yeah, see, this is a case where not understanding the structure of |
| 28 |
Gentoo gives you the wrong impression. The GDP's policy applies to the |
| 29 |
GDP. That is not a global developer policy of any kind. It is a policy |
| 30 |
by a project, for that project. |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
If I were, for example, to write up a nice guide for something on the |
| 33 |
games team and do it all in ASCII art, that policy has no bearing on |
| 34 |
what I do. If I were to write something for the GDP, then it would. |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
At any rate, that has *zero* bearing on whether or not our update |
| 37 |
information needs to be written in GuideXML, so there's no point in |
| 38 |
arguing it with you. |
