I don't see how Gentoo's status (or rather lack thereof) as a |
| 20 |
corporation or Debian has anything to do with encouraging peer review. |

I don't see how you could prove that assumption. If you can, please do so. |

There are plenty of devs who don't share in the viewpoint that reopening |
| 35 |
bugs is legitimate and should encouraged (although I agree it is and |
| 36 |
should be). I base opinion that on some of the kicking and screaming |
| 37 |
I've seen on bugzilla in the past. ;) |
