I have to agree with that. You can't compete with the other high-end distros |
| 15 |
if you spend your (limited) manpower forking packages just because two (or more) |
| 16 |
maintainers can't work together. If this keep happening then we are |
| 17 |
doomed to always be |
| 18 |
one step behind in user experience. |
| 19 |
We may as well turn the whole packaging thing into an internal |
| 20 |
competition. Whoever has the |
| 21 |
prettiest ebuild wins a "Larry The Cow" t-shirt and a goodie bag :) |
