Of course. I'm not at all suggesting flouting guidelines for the sake of it. |

In general the guidelines of multilib/python/Gnome/KDE/whatever are |
| 20 |
followed because of mutual respect between the projects and maintainers. |

I follow the guidelines of the python project because I respect their |
| 22 |
knowledge and experience in the matter. Conversely, the python project |
| 23 |
respects my role as a maintainer and doesn't needlessly interfere. |

This is not true of the games team, which attempts to dominate game |
| 26 |
packages for no discernable reason. If it behaved more like the other |
| 27 |
projects issuing guidelines we wouldn't he having this discussion. |
