I have to agree with Allen on this. I submitted some ebuilds for some |
| 12 |
WindowMaker apps almost 3 or 4 months ago. Since then, I've moved on and |
| 13 |
switched WM's twice. LOL Yet, my ebuilds are STILL sitting in bugzilla yet |
| 14 |
to be reviewed. Every once in a while, I'll get a comment about one or two |
| 15 |
of the submitted ebuilds. And to be frank, since I'm not using it anymore, |
| 16 |
I could care LESS what happens to em. |

It annoys me (on a scale of 1 - 10 where 10 is full blown anger, it's |
| 19 |
definitely a 1!) that user submitted ebuilds can take a WHILE to get |
| 20 |
approved. (Note: the ebuilds that I had submitted for the XFCE 4 rc |
| 21 |
releases on the other hand were accepted within days of me submitting |
| 22 |
em. :)) Kinda removes the feel that "power" is in the user's hands. |
