11 Yes, could go even further.

13 Developers/staff/etc automatically have an "Abstain" vote while they are
14 active in Gentoo. They can literally avoid the foundation entirely but still
15 be an active member. Not even required to "Abstain" as it is an auto vote.
16 Though if they choose to vote, they can always change the default.

18 That would not apply to "supporters". Just a convenient thing for those within
19 Gentoo to not have to be bothered with Foundation voting, while retaining
20 active membership.

22 Good points, I do not think they had been brought up!
23
24 Anything that makes Developers/staff/etc life better in Gentoo I am all for!
25 Less bureaucracy more automation!
