Should sunrise have any problems I do doubt it would be necessary to |
| 10 |
pull the plug... just let the thing implode, in reality if it has |
| 11 |
problems outside of Gentoo it doesn't affect Gentoo in any way, just |
| 12 |
like the wiki imploding wouldn't cause any problems for the core |
| 13 |
Gentoo distro. |

What does that have to do with anything? Devs are free to work on any |
| 19 |
projects they like outside of Gentoo, this would be just another such |
| 20 |
project. |

Agree, this was just an example. |

See above... who cares? |

Well... this would fix everyone being pissy about it "corrupting |
| 48 |
Gentoo" because it would be outside of the walls of the core distro |
| 49 |
and would have no effect on it but it would solve the problem of |
| 50 |
getting "extraneous" ebuilds to interested users faster than the |
| 51 |
official tree does. This is just my $0.02 as a user but it seems to |
| 52 |
make a hell of a lot more sense than shouting about how pointless the |
| 53 |
project is. |
