While I cautiously support the idea, limiting objections to a day appears |
| 19 |
to be ramming something thru, and beyond that, simply isn't practical for |
| 20 |
a number of folks who may have either valid objections or valid |
| 21 |
suggestions that could ease potential future issues. This is |
| 22 |
/particularly/ the case when some may be ignoring the list ATM due to the |
| 23 |
thread getting the most activity ATM. If folks aren't interested in that, |
| 24 |
they may be avoiding the list ATM as a simple matter of efficiency and |
| 25 |
personal sanity. |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
Also, it's Friday. What about those that have taken off for a long |
| 28 |
weekend? |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
Please... Tuesday at the very earliest seems reasonable, and I'd suggest |
| 31 |
an entire week from first post, so next Friday. Also note that portage is |
| 32 |
in 2.1-rc freeze ATM, and while this might be considered a bug-fix |
| 33 |
exception, /some/ sort of debate, more than a day, seems warranted. |
| 34 |
Otherwise, 2.2 would look like a more reasonable target. |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
Again, this is from someone that otherwise favors the idea. A day's |
| 37 |
debate is simply not enough, and looks like you are just trying to ram it |
| 38 |
thru without /letting/ there be debate. Please reconsider at least on the |
| 39 |
timing. |
