This. Whenever comrel actually does something feedback is at least 90% 
negative, and everyone else thinks he knows better what should have been done.
The result is a dozen mailing list threads, weeks if not months long infighting 
and people not talking to each other.

I haven't read most of the thread (and only bother with the latest mails 
because Mikle asked me to) since I have enough of the same arguments being 
brought up for years and years. It's just wasting time. Time that could be 
used more productively, both inside comrel and for normal work contributing to 
Gentoo.
