I was expecting you a few hours earlier, Jeroen. I knew you |
| 6 |
wouldn't resist a terrible temptation remembering the Python Bug |
| 7 |
that I filed from the old kernel gentoo. |

For your information this is a confirmed bug in Python right now and |
| 10 |
it is going to be fixed in 3.5 |

Jeroen, tell me how many users world wide do not prefer to upgrade Gentoo |
| 15 |
on automated basis? There are important servers, and there are many |
| 16 |
cases when after upgrade server stops. Do you remember that recent udev |
| 17 |
change? And there are many similar cases. Imagine that your server |
| 18 |
is running a reactor. So what would you prefer to keep it running the |
| 19 |
reactor as it did flawlessly for 8 years or launch an upgrade taking |
| 20 |
the risks to blast yourself? |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
Many be it's not only me, but somebody else who is thinking the same? |
| 23 |
Are you sure that the majority of Gentoo users are indulged in |
| 24 |
paranoid automated upgrade and then spending time fixing damage |
| 25 |
that upgrade did? |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
Do you have a car? Why you don't change EVERY detail in your car on a new |
| 28 |
version on daily basis automatically? |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
Why don't you change car as soon as a new version is released? Why not |
| 31 |
changing the new mouse, new keyboard, new monitor, new supply daily as |
| 32 |
soon as there is a new version? |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
Not to mention that you can change daily appearances. |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
I belive that each users has the right to decide how to use Gentoo. |
| 37 |
I have my reasons not to upgrade some servers. |
| 38 |
|
| 39 |
And you, being a support team has no right to mock on your users |
| 40 |
weather they're right or not. You don't make users feel bad, you |
| 41 |
help them. One mocked user, another and there is no users to mock |
| 42 |
about. |
| 43 |
|
| 44 |
And you need users to mock more than they need you. |
