We (devs) participate in Gentoo in various ways and for very different |
| 13 |
reasons. And those ways and reasons may change over time. |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
I, for one, no longer consider myself sufficiently informed about new |
| 16 |
PM/EAPI features, various profile changes, etc. Though I'll gladly |
| 17 |
update the few packages I maintain to whatever standard is expected, |
| 18 |
I'll leave the discussion(/trolling?) to other better-informed folks as |
| 19 |
I often have nothing of value to contribute in those areas. |

In fact, I believe this to be exactly the Council's role and we already |
| 22 |
have the necessary tools for that, including a yearly election. Council |
| 23 |
members already represent Gentoo devs when tougher decisions need to be |
| 24 |
made. |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
So while I commend you for trying to collect everyone's opinion, I |
| 27 |
believe it should *not* be necessary for you (or anyone else) to |
| 28 |
organize elections or polls in order to implement new features or |
| 29 |
changes to Gentoo. |
