So, while I was trying to be balanced in my reply, I'll admit it may
have still been a bit too emotionally motivated.

I think this was really the bit that I was reacting to.  In general I
do agree that it is best to let individual teams make the call before
escalating to council.

I just don't like attitudes along the lines of "I'll do what I think
is best, and if you don't like it you can do it instead."  It is true
that we're all volunteers, and we all need to be mindful of that.
However, if all Gentoo is to somebody is a place to host their
sole-committer git repo, you could probably do better.

I don't really think that was how Jorge felt, and I think we're all
just venting, and my response probably wasn't more helpful than what I
replied to, so apologies to all for the line noise.

For what its worth, this still isn't on the agenda (I'll probably send
out the call later today).  I also think that if anybody is feeling
really frustrated over the content of stage3/@system and so on,
they're probably best off directing that frustration towards getting
something like mix-ins supported.  :)  Gentoo is about choice, but we
can only offer the choices that our tools support.
