Honestly, much of this whole thread really seems too much like prior |
| 8 |
restraint for my taste. |

Should devs be able to start controversial projects without |
| 11 |
permission? Should devs be able to modify copyright lines in a branch |
| 12 |
of a repository? And so on... |

I don't think we should be yelling at people for what amounts to |
| 15 |
talking about things, or mocking things up. If somebody wrote a bot |
| 16 |
to go changing things in the portage tree I'd be concerned, but |
| 17 |
getting worked up about things that end up in repositories for all of |
| 18 |
a day or two is over-reaction. |

That said, I don't want to turn away those who have concerns either. |

If somebody thinks that something illegal is being done by all means |
| 22 |
speak up. However, the solution is to not go into panic mode, but to |
| 23 |
step back, evaluate the situation, and then make the right decision. |
