As I've explained in my post to that forum thread [1], you have to |
| 10 |
factor in the "silent majority" that welcomes the change and does not |
| 11 |
express it publicly. A forumor mailing list thread tends to attract a |
| 12 |
"vocal minority", which tends to bias the discussion (or voting results) |
| 13 |
in way that does not give a fair statistical representation of the |
| 14 |
gentoo population as a whole (it excludes the "silent majority"). It's |
| 15 |
part of human nature that those who are displeased with the changed more |
| 16 |
likely to speak up than those who welcome the change. |
