I don't know if this was meant to be for me only, so I'm sending it out again.

Yeah. I meant that the point of the new channel would be for development 
discussion rather than user support. I didn't mean that #gentoo-dev should be 
opened up to users or that #gentoo-portage's purpose should be changed. 
Perhaps #gentoo was such a channel in the past, but that was the past.

Thinking about it, such a channel would probably help recruitment somewhat 
too. I became a developer after another was kind enough to say "learn this, 
this and this". It was only a stroke of luck/fate/whatever that allowed the 
initial contact. #gentoo to #gentoo-dev is worlds apart. #gentoo-ebuilding 
(or whatever) would be a good bridge between them for those that want to 
traverse it.
