This has nothing to with open-mindness, but having enough people doing the |
| 6 |
general maintenance of a clearly defined frozen (sub-)tree as well as |
| 7 |
backports to fix vulnerabilities and other critical issues, without negative |
| 8 |
effects on other Gentoo subprojects (like "I work now on GLEP 19 stuff and |
| 9 |
don't care what I leave unmaintained instead."). Don't expect that |
| 10 |
maintainers of packages of the current tree do backports for a GLEP 19 tree. |

This is something the proponents would need to do themselves. You can't |
| 12 |
expect a commitment of the whole developer crowd in something only a minority |
| 13 |
is interested in. This doesn't mean there can't be a frozen tree within the |
| 14 |
context of Gentoo or as a separate project, of course. |
