There is also a lack of confidence in any appeal process. |

What are the states? |
| 15 |
Number of appeals over Gentoo's lifetime? |
| 16 |
Number of appeals that were successful, and the outcome? |

IMHO the whole appeal and comrel stuff is needless bureaucracy that is just a |
| 19 |
waste of time all around. Comrel should resolve matters. Never should it |
| 20 |
create a situation which requires appeal. That would be escalation rather than |
| 21 |
resolution and deescalation. |
