I keep complaining about things that I think can be improved, while
I don't generally praise things that I think are already good enough.

There are so many problems to fix that I basically feel that time is
better spent on problems than on giving praise.

I understand that most people can not handle focus only on problems
without also getting positive feedback for encouragement, but I don't
do that very much, except when defending Gentoo among naysayers.

I think the Gentoo tooling is absolutely outstanding, or I wouldn't
be here using it.

Not really true. As I mentioned in a previous email I researched what
the fix is for the tvtime USE=-alsa build failure and I documented it
in bugzilla. It was sortof there already, but not very clear, so I
completely understand that someone who only looked briefly at the
comments did not notice that actually the fix was known.


> If you like tvtime, step up, maintain it yourself and

I don't like it enough to take that responsibility, because I know
that I can not take the time needed to deal with further issues. If
I was still using it myself then I might well have, but as things are
I can't do a good job and would rather only help provide solutions
for observed problems on best effort basis, rather than create false
expectations.


> I will be more than happy to commit all the fixes on your behalf.

It would be super cool if you did this for other bugs that I have
provided solutions for. The xfig one was resolved a while ago, but
I think there might still be some others. I'll look up the links.
