I realize that there is only a short period left in the election, but |
| 2 |
I've been busy with IRL issues, and mgorny's trustee manifesto [1] ascribed |
| 3 |
something to the Council members that concerned me; there's one |
| 4 |
additional good question for the Council that I'll close with. |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
1. Points 1a&1c of mgorny's manifesto imply that the council can |
| 7 |
unilaterally prevent support of any given package in Gentoo, and |
| 8 |
basically remove the package from the distribution. |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
This is despite any developers that may wish to support the package. |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
What's your opinion of the council using this offensively against |
| 13 |
packages? As a hypothetical, say systemd-ng comes about, with an even |
| 14 |
worse opinionated choices than those presently in systemd. Should the |
| 15 |
council be able to force support for openrc & systemd stop? |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
2. As an additional point, can you try to give your version of a simple |
| 18 |
statement on the legal liabilities that the Council as a whole, and |
| 19 |
the Council members as individuals, have for their actions? |
