As far as survival goes - I think the rumors of Gentoo's death are |
| 8 |
greatly exaggerated. I certainly agree that we need standards, but as |
| 9 |
far as I can tell those exist. |

I'm not exactly sure what the actual problem is. What resolvable issue |
| 12 |
is directly impacting the Gentoo community, and how would things |
| 13 |
actually be better if that issue didn't exist? What is the itch that |
| 14 |
needs scratching? |

I don't see developers putting QA violations into the portage tree left |
| 17 |
and right. For the most part I'd say the level of abuse in bugzilla is |
| 18 |
down and continues to trend down. Sure, manpower is limited, but the |
| 19 |
solution to that isn't to tell the people who are here to "work harder |
| 20 |
or quit" (which means quit) but instead to recruit more help. Arch |
| 21 |
teams seem to be generally doing a good job keeping up with STABLEREQs |
| 22 |
on the major archs - if you use a minor arch that isn't as well |
| 23 |
supported I'm sure we'd be happy to have more help. |

Is the issue anarchy, or the bazaar model in general? You can't always |
| 26 |
have it both ways... |
