20 If devs in a key position leave, it's often a problem. But I don't see
21 a concentration problem here.

26 I didn't write that and didn't meant that.

31 No. I also vote this way.
32 I want the council to represent Gentoo as a whole and be represented by
33 Gentoo as a whole. I think it helps the other council members too if
34 there is e.g. an infra member to take care of the infra stance.
35
36 But: A council without an infra member can do a good job too.

38 Thanks.
