32 Hello?
33
34 wxglade was just one example that affected me, and actually a bad
35 example, but I see constant commits to anything and everything by
36 people not maintaining something, to teams that have not declared their
37 packages open for fixing by anyone nor without Acked-by's; coupled with
38 constant talks of everything being crap, ebuilds being retarded and
39 whatnot. Not a very motivational speak, I must add.

41 What is going on? Do I need to revise how I would judge an ebuild quiz
42 question 12 answer for any future mentees?
