This is a request by two developers (and not by the council). But I |

would like to answer one of your questions. |

The Gentoo Developer community has used GLEP 39 [1] for its |
| 17 |
self-organization for the last 12 years. Our "real motivation" (speaking |
| 18 |
as individual developers) is to keep it that way. |

I fail to see how trying to get an affirmation that the Gentoo |
| 25 |
Foundation is still on board with GLEP 39 is "acting against the |
| 26 |
community". |

We have had a very public case of prometheanfire pushing for dissolving |
| 29 |
the current metastructure and reorganizing the community under the |
| 30 |
Foundation. Andreas and I, personally, disagree with that. |
