Well, yes - but what is problematic? Certain parties keep vaguely |

alluding to past actions, which is what I am inquiring about. |

I don't like being here either, but after using Gentoo for a while |
| 17 |
arbitrary actions taken by developers have broken my system, and poor |
| 18 |
commit discipline has in cases made it very hard to figure out what |
| 19 |
was changed and why. |

|
| 21 |
This is an outgrowth of those things. If arbitrary choices are made |
| 22 |
here and now arbitrary choices will keep being made elsewhere in the |
| 23 |
future. |

For some reason a lot of people seem to think my questions are |
| 26 |
annoying. They're not supposed to be annoying. If a decision is |
| 27 |
happening with purpose, then spending 30s to type out that purpose |
| 28 |
should not be annoying. |

See reply to first paragraph; I mean specific events that make the OP |
| 35 |
feel this is necessary. |
