Why do we let utterly *useless* discussions eat into our precious |
| 2 |
developer time? |

Why is it that this thread has 500 replies, but Mart's |
| 5 |
maintainer-wanted thread has less than 10? |

I *do not care* if the ebuild format will not be "properly extensible" |
| 8 |
when the need arises. We'll cross that bridge when we get to it. |

I *do not care* if support for live ebuilds is perfect. The three |
| 11 |
major consumers of live ebuilds (x11, kde, and gnome) are *NOT* |
| 12 |
complaining. |

Why is the council spending so much time on *utterly useless* |
| 15 |
discussions? Have we eliminated all other problems facing Gentoo that |
| 16 |
we now have time for enhancements of questionable value in the near |
| 17 |
future? |
| 18 |

I would like to petition the Council to _strongly_ discourage such |
| 20 |
discussion, and not to waste it's own time on things like this. |

Hell, in my opinion EAPI-3 is a m00t discussion when we have entire |
| 23 |
herds and archs wasting away due to inadequate developer resources and |
| 24 |
users constantly being discouraged and turned away. |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
Let's not blatantly ignore our REAL problems. We can no longer afford |
| 27 |
to maintain the status-quo of pedantic masturbatory discussions on the |
| 28 |
finer points of ebuild formats. We cannot AFFORD to look the other way |
| 29 |
while the distro rots away. |
