Personally I couldn't care less what anyone (e.g. distrowatch) is writing |
| 11 |
about gentoo. What I do see however is that the atmosphere on -dev has become |
| 12 |
such (and is still, even after the latest big flame) that arguments (that |
| 13 |
often get personal) dominate the discussions. The bad part about it is that |
| 14 |
it drives away users interested in development, and even worse, developers. |
| 15 |
This has developed to a point where development discussions is hardly held on |
| 16 |
the -dev list. I want to stop the main gentoo development forum from |
| 17 |
becomming a debian^H^H^H^H^H^Hgentoo-politics. |

ps. If someone wanted to start a gentoo-politics, by all means, go ahead, just |
| 22 |
don't expect anyone to read it. |
