Well, there is nowhere policy on how to handle GLEPs that "will be |
| 10 |
accepted if the following changes are made". You say it should have been |
| 11 |
republished to -dev. We said, "we accept it but next time it should be |
| 12 |
published to -dev at least a week before". |

In fact it's been introduced 4 days before, on Nov 11. Then on Nov 12, |
| 19 |
Homer Parker submitted the revised GLEP to the council agenda. Then, on |
| 20 |
Nov 14, realizing some people thought it should have been resubmitted |
| 21 |
before, he posted it to -dev. On Nov 15, not one single complain was |
| 22 |
made on the subject of the email subdomain. |

We have an infra team member in the council. And since no infra member |
| 29 |
contested the change to have a subdomain that was required in _October_, |
| 30 |
we thought (obviously by mistake) that it was OK for them. Our mistake |
| 31 |
was to suppose at least one infra member would read council meeting |
| 32 |
summaries. |

No longer caring enough to try to improve the way Gentoo works. I tried, |
| 42 |
and it's not worth it. I am like two feet from the exit door, and prefer |
| 43 |
not to comment anymore on the subject, to calm down and avoid definitive |
| 44 |
decisions I would regret. |
