And what would be the use of those 'user comments'? Do you believe it |
| 24 |
would change anything? So what is the purpose of asking more users from |
| 25 |
feedback *we do not want*? |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
Would it make you feel better if you were asked to raise your objection? |
| 28 |
Would you feel better claiming that we did it against objections of many |
| 29 |
users? Or do you believe we would abandon it and decide not to do |
| 30 |
anything because of the resulting bikeshed -- which seems to be |
| 31 |
a recurring theme lately? |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
Yes, I *do not want feedback* on *how to do Gentoo* from people who do |
| 34 |
*not help me do Gentoo* but instead only complain and demand. |
