5 Ok, but most "active contributors" are people that submit ebuilds to devs and
6 know nothing about the structure/policy/whatever about ebuilds. If you're
7 not a dev, you're probably not going to worry about revision bumps. If
8 you're a dev without alternate arches, you're probably not going to know
9 about how other arches can get screwed by improper pic handling.

11 To conclude, active contributors are generally in a focused environment. The
12 quiz is there to help show them the global way of handling things.
