13 I think you have made this clear. ;-) And I'm very happy that you don't follow
14 a strict 30 day rule with e.g. glibc, too.

22 Jon openend the thread with such an example (which means that base system
23 isn't the very first addressee, btw.) So either a dev is pissed about not
24 having control about his _very_own_ bunch of maintained ebuilds or not all
25 arch devs are as careful as you describe. If this happens too often, then it
26 is better to create a communication policy in this case, than having
27 ill-tempered developers, accusing others to mangle their ebuilds. I think it
28 would be good, if the complaining dev/s could say a word or two.
