While I really appreciate you comparing us to janitors, ... |

... I would say you're both right and wrong on that point. |
12 |
|
13 |
I happen to believe we've been pretty good at reducing our global "bus |
14 |
factor". There's more communication between teams and a lot of devs |
15 |
belong to multiple teams. |
16 |
|
17 |
We could do better, sure, but we're much better than a year or two ago. |

And to close off, I'll say a few things about your attitude back in bug |
20 |
260582. |
21 |
|
22 |
#1 : I closed that bug because we already know about bumps. Polluting |
23 |
our bug list with stuff we're _already_ working on is both useless for |
24 |
you and annoying for us. |
25 |
|
26 |
#2 : One of the point of the X11 overlay is to literally shove stuff |
27 |
that is too broken/untested to hit portage. So by all means, nothing in |
28 |
this overlay is supported (in the traditional Gentoo sense). |
29 |
|
30 |
#3 : When we feel xorg 1.6 is ready for portage, we'll just push it |
31 |
there. By the time we go back to bugzilla to close the bug, you'll |
32 |
already know about it. |
33 |
|
34 |
#4 : I work on Gentoo because I like it and I do take the responsibility |
35 |
very seriously. I don't need you or anyone else to tell me that I "need |
36 |
to do my job". That's just condescending and downright rude. |
37 |
|
38 |
So, I'll leave this bug open because I definitely don't want to start a |
39 |
flamewar over this, but do know that you've red-flagged yourself. |
40 |
|
41 |
I do hope though we can go all go back to fixing bugs and making Gentoo |
42 |
better. |
43 |

Cheers |
