19 I'm sorry that it wasn't clear, though I find your response really hard
20 to comprehend. I'm going to clarify what I meant.
21
22 You're running for a political position. As part of your agenda you're
23 indicating you'd like to see fewer EAPIs around. As you probably know,
24 there's quite a few developers that are actively working towards
25 removing old EAPIs, and I'm one of them. I just happen to know that
26 you've just committed an EAPI=5 ebuild last week, for no good reason.
27
28 So to me it seems that your actions contradict your promises. In other
29 words, in my opinion you're straight lying in your manifesto. I really
30 dislike this kind of attitude, so I consider it appropriate to point it
31 out publicly.
32
33 If you don't want your actions criticized publicly, I would suggest you
34 don't run for public positions. Council positions imply responsibility
35 in front of all developers. Including these you don't like. I also
36 feel like it also implies being able to behave professionally in face of
37 criticism but this doesn't seem to be a case for a long time now.
