Personally I think you're just going a bit wild by closing the bug reports as |
| 9 |
wont fix and expecting users to fix them. That's part of developers job, if |
| 10 |
someone takes into account adding an ebuild to the official tree, isn't it?! |

While I can understand your motivation, I'd like to know if your doing is |
| 12 |
backed up by at least an informal decision (didn't follow the threads which |
| 13 |
resulted in the maintainer* aliases, etc.), because we have enough whining |
| 14 |
guys, who don't understand that our ressources are limited. Caring for the |
| 15 |
quality of stuff, that is not part of the official tree is only bad PR, but |
| 16 |
not a win for us, imho. |
