Apart from all the implications that have already been brought up, that's |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
1) a public relations nightmare waiting to happen |
| 15 |
(future discussion: "Err, wait, central Gentoo infrastructure runs on an |
| 16 |
Ubuntu-based container? Well, then we switch directly to Ubuntu.") |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
2) not particularly nice to our users, who probably want to experiment with |
| 19 |
gitlab too. |

(Hey, for years www-apps/bugzilla was maintainer-needed while Gentoo Infra was |
| 21 |
running a well-maintained instance. I was always wondering what happened |
| 22 |
there...) |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
So I'd suggest we either are convinced that our packaging actually makes |
| 25 |
sense, and use it, or we close shop. |
