There is a lot of irony in this entire discussion. We are actually |
| 14 |
talking about going against what the heck part of the reason this |
| 15 |
project was started. Are we seriously that *can't find the word I'm |
| 16 |
looking for* idiotically to not see that we're arguing over not |
| 17 |
allowing a user a choice in what they want to do. That we are so high |
| 18 |
and mighty that we automatically know what is better for the user then |
| 19 |
they themselves know? Who defined us as the ones to make that choice |
| 20 |
for someone else, when we are supposedly about allowing choice. |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
That is the issue at hand at the core of this. Its called choice. |
| 23 |
People can choose to use a separate program to download the sunrise |
| 24 |
overlays. That separates it entirely from the core tree itself. A |
| 25 |
disclaimer for checking out could be added that is prominent that will |
| 26 |
warn that these are a service provided to the community from the |
| 27 |
community. That those who have gone through the "developer mentorship" |
| 28 |
will continue to work on the core of the heart of gentoo, allowing us |
| 29 |
to focus and make the product so much better and quicker that you'll |
| 30 |
be blindsided with the new improved product. We'll have a rebirth so |
| 31 |
to speak. |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
Bloody, I mean seriously...think about what it is we are arguing over, |
| 34 |
and then remember what gentoo is, why you came to it in the first |
| 35 |
place. That will probably tell you where it should go. |
