I'm not sticking up for Ciaran, he already made his bed and now he's
laying in it. I'm sticking up for spb who is a damn good dev and doesn't
deserve this kind of bullshit dumped on him.

spb works his ass off for this project and is */ALWAYS/* very
professional. Just look at the past few threads that he has started
where he totally changed his approach based on feedback from everyone
(hell, look at ANY technical discussion that spb has ever had regarding
Gentoo - not just the last few mail threads). He was professional,
listened attentively and made changes based on the feedback that
satisfied everyone involved while still solving the problem at hand.
Sounds like a damn good developer to me. One I would like to see more of
in Gentoo.

spb != ciarnm

Just my two cents for what it's worth.
