A bug from over two years ago involving a developer who is no |
| 5 |
longer with Gentoo? Yes, Gentoo is far from perfect, but surely you |
| 6 |
could do better than that. |

Gentoo is a community-driven distribution. We do our best to fix |
| 13 |
problems as they arise and to the best of our abilities, but we're |
| 14 |
quite far from perfect. We rely on our userbase to point out problems |
| 15 |
and help us fix them. I'm sure you will disagree, but this thread |
| 16 |
that you started does not fall under that category. Your initial post |
| 17 |
was (a) not particularly precise, (b) in the wrong place, since filing a |
| 18 |
bug would have been much more helpful, and (c) written as a rather |
| 19 |
whiny complaint instead of as a helpful criticism. In response to |
| 20 |
my request that you be more precise in a better forum, which I |
| 21 |
thought had not been particularly rude, you replied with a diatribe. |
| 22 |
(Incidentally, all Gentoo mailing lists should be considered |
| 23 |
"clean-language" lists.) It would seem that you have a grudge, and that |
| 24 |
more than anything else you were looking for an opportunity to vent your |
| 25 |
spleen. In that case, we have more appropriate outlets than the |
| 26 |
gentoo-dev mailing list: if your grudge is with particular developers |
| 27 |
then you are welcome to mail devrel@g.o with your complaints, |
| 28 |
while if your grudge is with how we do things then you can either file a |
| 29 |
bug (bugs.gentoo.org) or write up a GLEP (glep.gentoo.org). |

The FreeBSD folks put together a fine system, and we have considerable |
| 34 |
respect for them. Please give them our regards. |
