I can see you haven't check the archive huh. Where were you months ago? |
| 8 |
You do realize Daniel brought up the foundation issues almost a year |
| 9 |
ago. You were? I brought this up at LWE and again in October on -nfp |
| 10 |
list. A few days after last communication from SFC. |

Really, any facts to support that statement? Again a quick read of dev |
| 16 |
archive might show otherwise. For many things we are still the first |
| 17 |
distro to do things technically. So how is that falling behind? |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
Maybe in some areas we aren't as wide, but that's because we are going |
| 20 |
deeper in other areas. |

Sorry, but again QA of any release matters when the last one has issues. |
| 25 |
Not to mention security trumps it all. If you want things on time go run |
| 26 |
M$. Who was late with Vista and it still has issues. |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
Plus what does a release have to do with those already running Gentoo? |
| 29 |
Not a whole lot. |

Are you following bugs to support that comment? |

Is this the first time he has made that offer? Why did he leave before? |
| 42 |
More than once. If you check archives I was trying to support him a bit |
| 43 |
last time he came back. Just to have him bail a few days later. And we |
| 44 |
got all kinds of BS flack because of it. |
| 45 |
|
| 46 |
Sorry but we don't need drama like that. To date the media is playing on |
| 47 |
and reporting drama. Not facts, or real issues with the project. Just |
| 48 |
all talking about some blog entry. Like no one has anything better to do |
| 49 |
or report on :) |
