Do you have any arguments to support this claim? I'd dare say you need |
| 27 |
one, especially that you're talking about special privileges that affect |
| 28 |
yourself. |

Why do you claim that Trustees (= people ideally with financial or legal |
| 31 |
background) are the right people to evaluate technical merits of funding |
| 32 |
requests? Just because our Trustees happen to be technically competent |
| 33 |
people doesn't justify a general rule. |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
Does that mean that if we switch to an umbrella, Infra and RelEng want |
| 36 |
to request expenses directly from the umbrella, entirely skipping Gentoo |
| 37 |
supervision? |
