I don't really understand your negativity. You seem to assume that |
| 27 |
everyone in the distributions means harm to it. Why don't you have more |
| 28 |
trust in your colleagues? Don't you think they mean the best for Gentoo |
| 29 |
and are not really interested in 'hostile takeovers'? (I mean, how |
| 30 |
could you even consider a 'hostile' takeover when we're all Gentoo |
| 31 |
devs?) |
