Nope. What I see as a problem is that the primary author and current |
| 8 |
de facto maintainer is so much of an asshole that he was forcibly |
| 9 |
removed from the Gentoo project, which PMS is supposed to be written |
| 10 |
for, and has ostracized (at least) one of the package manager's |
| 11 |
development team with his constant not-so-subtle attacks. Quite |
| 12 |
frankly, I'd prefer see Gentoo take control over the specification that |
| 13 |
defines the most important single feature of Gentoo and remove the |
| 14 |
non-Gentoo developers from its development. No offense, but you're not |
| 15 |
a Gentoo developer any longer and you shouldn't have a say in how *we* |
| 16 |
manage ourselves. You're more than welcome to contribute code, fork, or |
| 17 |
whatever the hell you want. This is open source, after all, but that |
| 18 |
doesn't mean you should be allowed to hold the position of power over |
| 19 |
Gentoo that you've been granted. |
