The one thing I was trying to avoid doing was giving an impression |
| 8 |
that the infra team isn't busy doing work that helps everybody around |
| 9 |
here. |

You summarize the problem well here. You're too busy due to a labor |
| 12 |
shortage to do the sorts of things that would help reduce the labor |
| 13 |
shortage. |

I don't mean to trivialize the problem, either. Gentoo has a lot of |
| 16 |
donated infrastructure, and a decent amount of cash when you're |
| 17 |
talking about replacing hard drives and such. The problem is that we |
| 18 |
really don't have the kind of money it would take to take on even a |
| 19 |
single employee. |

Apologies if my email came across as kicking you guys when you were |
| 22 |
down. It was really more about trying to point out that we have a |
| 23 |
problem. |
