1. There is nothing wrong with a maintainer of a specific kernel |
| 21 |
package to add support for deblob. They're the maintainer and it's their choice to |
| 22 |
support that or not. |

2. I removed deblob from gentoo-sources because it was annoying at the time |
| 25 |
(I hear the script has changed now), and rather than make it less annoying, I decided |
| 26 |
my time was better spent on other things. |

3. Something does not have to be in gentoo-sources for it to have relevance. |
| 29 |
I think that's obvious and should not be an argument to include something or not. |
