Devs don't have to bother or even know about this at all. |

The support will be limited within the possibilities of these |
| 9 |
who want to offer it. The amount of support that LQ ask from |
| 10 |
us is *more* than covered with what I and the other volunteers |
| 11 |
can offer (it would be covered even with just me) If I founded |
| 12 |
a project it's just because it's a way to make the rest of the |
| 13 |
persons aware that the initiative exist, and because I like |
| 14 |
official things when that's possible. |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
For the rest of people who just don't care about this, this |
| 17 |
represent no change at all. In other words, this project will |
| 18 |
only affect those who have any interest in it, the rest of devs |
| 19 |
and people here can just ignore it as if it never existed. |

We could argue that the sunrise project is bad because these devs |
| 22 |
taking care of it should concentrate in portage instead, same |
| 23 |
for gentoo-alt, to put just two random examples (I swear that I |
| 24 |
feel no animosity against these projects at all :) ). But that's |
| 25 |
pointless as I see it. This is open source, and everyone will |
| 26 |
contribute wherever s/he wants, regardless of where you think |
| 27 |
they should contribute. |

By rejecting the gse project gentoo.forums.org will get no |
| 30 |
extra time or support from me, and LQ will get no less either. |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
In the same lines, the fact that I support people at LQ is not |
| 33 |
going to change the kind of support nor the quality of the support |
| 34 |
that I give on our own forums. |
