19 I like Lance's point here.. We need to keep in mind that, although
20 the current organizational model is not perfect, that we did not get
21 here by chance and luck. Gentoo is working, and it's working well
22 enough to find itself in production everywhere. We need to keep that in
23 mind before making radical organizational changes. However, I'm for
24 any change that moves us forward, versus the rash of recent
25 unprofessional fiascos and livecd slips that seem to move us backward..
