As opposed to the childish "I don't want to hear from a few outspoken users so |
| 7 |
let's close up the list" attitude? |

And what exactly is the bloody point if all of the contributions from users |
| 14 |
are going to rot in some queue until they are no longer relevant? |
| 15 |

Can you explain to me how giving the devs _more_ work to do is going to help |
| 17 |
Gentoo when getting user contributions, bugfixes, ebuilds etc incorporated in |
| 18 |
a timely fashion is already one of the largest problems IMO? |

Seriously, call us all childish if you want, but you need to recognize that |
| 21 |
some of us users are seriously concerned about being alienated due to this |
| 22 |
proposal. If you insist on shutting out users like this you are basically |
| 23 |
giving us all the finger. I would expect this treatment from a SuperMegaCorp |
| 24 |
software vendor, not from Gentoo. |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
If I am still not clear, here is my opinion in one sentence: This is a very |
| 27 |
bad move which will do little but severely reduce the amount of goodwill from |
| 28 |
the user-contributors, and make it de facto more difficult, time consuming, |
| 29 |
and painful to contribute to Gentoo. |
