8 Wow, you are incredibly good at dismissing the actual argument that many
9 folks have raised against sunrise, and instead inserting the
10 "waaaaaaahhhhhh!!! they aren't treating us the same!!!" argument. In
11 fact, there is no reason to be treated the same in this case. The
12 council decided that sunrise was to be suspended, which in my mind
13 constitutes a total scorched earth policy with respect to the use of any
14 sort of Gentoo infra in any way. The council did not decide that the
15 java overlay was to be suspended, ergo the java overlay can use Gentoo
16 infra as a resource.

25 Please, cut the bullshit and stop deflecting these arguments as a
26 personal attack, which you *always* seem to do once an argument reaches
27 a point that you have nothing meaningful to say.
