The fix is easy and hard. Easy: get a dedicated ebuild QA team |
| 4 |
with a n-day turnaround time. Hard: who's gonna do that? If |
| 5 |
some bigcorp is making money off "Enterprise Gentoo" then they |
| 6 |
could sponsor a team. But building dependence on such |
| 7 |
sponsorship into Gentoo infrastructure is a bad thing. |

Perhaps it would be worthwhile to have a (Graphviz-generated :) |
| 13 |
organisation tree for Gentoo, with flags for roles that lack |
| 14 |
the required manpower, and recruitment drives to get volunteers |
| 15 |
and sponsors .. |

Hmm, this sounds like a social-engineering project next to |
| 18 |
Gentoo. I know there are people who make their money just by |
| 19 |
finding tax-deductable things for corporates to donate to .. |
