15 (This _isn't_ intended to turn into a flamefest. It's intended to
16 start a discussion on a point of principle).
17
18 The current metastructure (as documented in GLEP 39) is a little
19 unusual; it's a proposal that was voted in by all Gentoo developers.
20
21 As such, as a point of principle, should the council be able to
22 change/override/replace the rules in GLEP 39 w/out putting it to a
23 vote of all Gentoo developers?
24
25 (As a second principle, if GLEP 39 is amended, wouldn't it be better
26 to publish a new GLEP to superceed it, rather than revise the existing
27 GLEP?)
28
29 Please - let's not get sidetracked about the nature of the change, or
30 its merits.

32 Best regards,
33 Stu
