A better statement on your part would have been "We need to ensure |
| 21 |
compatibility for the greatest amount of users and requiring users to |
| 22 |
have a version of Portage released after January 4th when it's only the |
| 23 |
middle of February is not going to ensure the greatest compatibility. |

The previous policy was always 6 months between breaks like this." |
