This is why I find it funny that people even bother to listen to Ciaran, |
| 18 |
at all. All he cares about is his little pet projects/teams and doesn't |
| 19 |
care if it increases workload for everybody else. I mean, where would |
| 20 |
Gentoo be if not for our support of mips? Oh dear, we'd definitely be |
| 21 |
nowhere near as popular... *cough* |
