Simply screwing the page may happen, but it's not the worst problem these |
| 11 |
days. Link-spamming gets that dubious honor, I believe. If it's visible |
| 12 |
to Google, and it's possible to subvert access control to get access, |
| 13 |
you're simply /begging/ for uncontrollable link spamming. |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
However "non-gentoo personnel" is to be interpreted, this IMO has to be |
| 16 |
considered, as it has certainly ruined many other projects, and forced |
| 17 |
capcha implementation on others. Of course, I'm sure infra is already on |
| 18 |
it, but if we fail to account for it in discussing the idea, the solution |
| 19 |
chosen might not be the best one possible. |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
BTW, if I'm not mistaken, it's exactly this sort of "half-dev" issue that |
| 22 |
the AT position was to be a solution to. The issues are much the same, |
| 23 |
and to a large degree have already been hashed out or failing that, at |
| 24 |
least discussed. Perhaps the amd64 folks and/or hparker could comment. |

+1 on the RST idea as well, for what a user vote may be worth. Ciaran has |
| 27 |
made excellent use of it with his GLEP work. For what my opinion's worth, |
| 28 |
there's no other person who could steer a complicated and therefore |
| 29 |
implementation controversial GLEP such as that thru the process better |
| 30 |
than he. In all aspects he has done a better job than I would have |
| 31 |
thought possible, literally, had I not seen him doing it. |
