11 That is not the question I asked. I would like to know why you have
12 chosen not to help with the effort so far and have not voiced your
13 opinion on gentoo-scm which is where the migration has been discussed,
14 even though it is clearly important to you.

16 In general, the way to participate in any open source project (and I
17 believe this holds for a team in Gentoo as well) is not - "You're
18 doing it wrong, let me show you how". It's a combination of, "How can
19 I help?" and "Why don't we try to do things this other way?"
