What kind of careless mainstream attitude is that? Really? |

|

I mean: You are saying that given two options, Gentoo will do |
| 8 |
whatever "major distros" are doing. |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
(Never mind that Gentoo *is* a major distro, and whatever Gentoo does |
| 11 |
generates collective bias just like whatever any other distro does.) |

How about making an informed decision instead? |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
Oops, I forgot - that would mean actually having to *get informed* first. |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
"We as gentoo" must certainly avoid getting informed at all cost!!!!111oneone |

Are you *really* quite serious? Please explain yourself. |

Hm? Where can I learn more about the "lead" ? So it is a single |
| 26 |
person's decision, and not "we as gentoo" that decides? I'd like to |
| 27 |
understand how this decision making process actually works. Does |
| 28 |
anyone know? |

Guess what - I have been on the receiving end of the arguably |
| 34 |
insanely lame mainstream attitude that you support, and honestly |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
it fucking broke my heart |
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
that people working on Linux distributions (it wasn't just Gentoo, |
| 39 |
it was *every* distro) would be so genuinely uninterested in what |
| 40 |
happens upstream, especially at a time where a downstream decision |
| 41 |
may carry a bit of extra weight. |
| 42 |
|
| 43 |
I do not want that. |
| 44 |
|
| 45 |
(Around the time this happened to me I wrote roughly the same in a |
| 46 |
private email to developers of another distribution which shall |
| 47 |
remain unnamed. I found that email in a pastebin a few days later.) |
| 48 |
|
| 49 |
|
| 50 |
It is long since clear to me that I have much too high expectations |
| 51 |
on people. |
| 52 |
|
| 53 |
But are you *REALLY* not able to do *any* better than "default will |
| 54 |
be what major distros use" ? |
| 55 |
|
| 56 |
Seriously? |
