Those two reasons (offset, no manifesto) are IMO /the/ (singular) reason |
| 12 |
you were the #1 pick. |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
You are highly respected for your "no fuss, just do it, make it work" |
| 15 |
attitude, while respecting other devs' territory, over a relatively long |
| 16 |
period with Gentoo. It's that same attitude that had you running with no |
| 17 |
manifesto, either they've worked with you long enough and respect you and |
| 18 |
your judgment and positions well enough to support you, or they don't, no |
| 19 |
manifesto need apply. In fact, a manifesto would have contradicted that |
| 20 |
reputation, and as such, you'd have only lost votes putting one up. |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
The offset thing simply reinforced that. Think about it. |

Has potential. Keeps it out of the council's hair until time for the |
| 30 |
recommendation and up/down vote. |

Wow! Users thank you too. That's why people voted for you. Looking |
| 48 |
forward to Gentoo's new year! =:^) |
