They can ignore the threads on -dev now, and they're still just as on |
| 16 |
their own if they miss something important. |

* While it is any developer's choice not to participate on the gentoo-dev and |
| 19 |
gentoo-project mailing lists, they nevertheless serve as main communication |
| 20 |
channels. If something has been discussed there, and then action has been taken, |
| 21 |
the council regards ignorance of the discussion not as a good foundation for |
| 22 |
protests against the actions. |

I'd have to go back and re-read - I don't think that the Council was |
| 27 |
specifically asked to make gentoo-dev mandatory. I can put that on |
| 28 |
the agenda, but my personal opinion is that it is unlikely to result |
| 29 |
in anything other than re-iterating the statement above, and leaving |
| 30 |
gentoo-dev non-mandatory, with the existing guidelines for using |
| 31 |
-dev-announce, etc. My personal opinion is that if devs want to just |
| 32 |
maintain their packages in peace and follow new policies when they are |
| 33 |
poked about them, I don't see the harm in it. If devs want to have a |
| 34 |
big say in what the policies are, then they're going to get their |
| 35 |
hands dirty. |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
Let me know if you still want this on the agenda. I speak for the |
| 38 |
council only in the sense that I'm quoting the recent decision. |
