Would you be suggesting perhaps (and these are not my words) .. that it |
| 30 |
might be the case, or could be considered, that there may be a 'clique' |
| 31 |
of perceived "good" devs and "bad" devs in Gentoo? You would certainly |
| 32 |
have recourse if that were found to be the case, but that would be a |
| 33 |
matter for Council to address, and be presented with appropriate |
| 34 |
evidence from any such parties that may be concerned.... |

Regretfully, I think you're setting the bar rather high for what you're |
| 37 |
expecting from Gentoo as an overworked body of volunteers. Whilst I'm |
| 38 |
not excusing the actions of any, for even a moment, I think the lack of |
| 39 |
resources (which I too agree with) and the difficulties arising from a |
| 40 |
lack of a legitimate programme of recruitment and hence 'new blood', is |
| 41 |
putting an unreasonable expectation on both devs and users alike in |
| 42 |
terms of what's achievable with the resource available. Again, finding |
| 43 |
some pro-active measures and contributing a solution rather than another |
| 44 |
problem I'm certain -should- be welcomed by Gentoo as a whole .. |
