I understand where you're coming from, but a lack of yelling or |
| 18 |
complaining isn't logically equivalent to consensus. It's a fair point |
| 19 |
to make, though. We don't know until we ask, so I'll post something on |
| 20 |
gentoo-user about it. |

|
| 22 |
I also understand that I'm new and we're not special. I'm not sure where |
| 23 |
I conveyed that. It's healthy to look back and reassess or reconsider |
| 24 |
decisions. Policies, standards, or even accurate consensus can't be |
| 25 |
assessed unless they're checked every once in a while. If there are |
| 26 |
other strange decisions you feel need attention, I'm all eyes. :) |
