Well, I find it sad that Gentoo is trying really hard to resist change - |
| 28 |
although things have been improving lately. |

Honestly, I really like the new QA team, we actually push things forward! |
| 31 |
Sure, not everyone will always agree with us, but that is natural. |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
By the way, we did not take over. We were entrusted with this role, we |
| 34 |
discuss everything with the community and try to take decisions that are |
| 35 |
good for Gentoo. We don't have some secret ulterior motive to take over the |
| 36 |
world through Gentoo. |
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
For what it's worth, as a QA member I always vote with what I believe is |
| 39 |
best for Gentoo in mind. |
