Anything in /usr/portage that you can find on github is also on |
| 8 |
https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git/, which is a Gentoo site. |

That's kind of the point of git - there are a bazillion tools |
| 11 |
available for it and it makes it very easy to clone a full repository |
| 12 |
with full history. It also lowers the bar to contribution. |

I get that you're frustrated with the change, and there are a few |
| 15 |
others that are as well, but thousands of people use Gentoo, and |
| 16 |
generally people only bother to post on lists when they're frustrated. |
| 17 |
We can't go into panic mode every time somebody raises a complaint, |
| 18 |
and ultimately everybody here is a volunteer. |

The complaints don't really bother me much personally, but I do get |
| 21 |
concerned that they'll discourage others from contributing. I can |
| 22 |
just ignore threads like these easily enough, but people get |
| 23 |
frustrated when they contribute and others just criticize. |
