Gentoo devs will look at bugs that affect Sabayon users when they're |
| 9 |
reproducible in vanilla Gentoo environments. If not, how to support |
| 10 |
them? This is the same with all other unofficial overlays. |

As far as making ixnay a developer goes, I rather think he would not |
| 13 |
want to do that anyway, especially with his weird ideas to "fork away |
| 14 |
from [Gentoo's] bugs" [1] and give Gentoo back to drobbins. |

Would having him as a developer do any good community wise? I don't |
| 17 |
know, but after reading [2, the last paragraphs], my guess is 'no'. |
