You are the one claiming that this is our official fork. None of us are. |
67 |
|
68 |
This will be an official Gentoo project when we make the announcement in |
69 |
the next few days. That makes it one project of many. GLEP 0039 clearly |
70 |
states how this works. If you are unhappy with GLEP 0039, then you |
71 |
should discuss that with the council. |
