The only net results from strict review workflow (when each commit |
12 |
of each dev must be reviewed and approved by at least N devs) are |
13 |
tons of bikeshedding, real quality improvement is marginal, because |
14 |
people are working in different areas anyway. And if you will |
15 |
consider, that strict review will require N more times effort and |
16 |
spent time, actual quality of the tree will drop almost N times, |
17 |
because number of man hours spent on Gentoo is approximately |
18 |
constant with the same number of devs. |

Really, I'm tired of that review bikeshedding and trolling. |
21 |
Before continuing talks like that take a list of paper, do some |
22 |
calculations, think them over. |

24 |
And do not point at the Linux kernel — they have ~80% paid |
25 |
developers, so they have resources for that kind of workflow. |

We are volunteers here, so we don't. |
