drobbins has repeatedly claimed that PMS is not a Gentoo project, that
Ciaran is leading PMS, that Ciaran's involvement with PMS requires
developer status, that Gentoo projects require Gentoo copyright, and
more. Having read some of his past and later messages, I don't doubt his
intentions are good, but from this thread alone I initially got the same
impression Ciaran did, except I did not see any actual ad hominem's from
drobbins's side, myself. I did see Ciaran asking drobbins to stop with
them in reply to what he apparently considered one.
