The version I used is taken from http://dd.pangyre.org/s/self-evident.html. |

Yes, it was non-technical, but it was related to Gentoo and most |
| 19 |
importantly the stability of my operating system, which is why I |
| 20 |
bothered to comment. I want to stress I am not opposed to moderation, |
| 21 |
but so far the reason why things are happening and the specific things |
| 22 |
being proposed do not seem to be well justified. |

If, like in the past, decisions will be enforced more or less |
| 25 |
arbitrarily and opaquely, I can only see this causing more problems. I |
| 26 |
suppose the problems may be quieter. |
