Please this is Gentoo, what really needs to be confidential? This is not |
| 8 |
proprietary stuff. This is not governmental secretive work. Nothing need be |
| 9 |
confidential. Point blank period. |

|
| 11 |
Only exception as stated is matters of technical security vulnerabilities till |
| 12 |
addressed or a solution available. |

Given the fact Gentoo mailing lists go inactive for periods of time. Given the |
| 20 |
fact that lots of things have issues no one notices. You are assuming Gentoo |
| 21 |
is much more popular that it is. |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
You are also assuming I am not doing any work.... |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
If I wasn't limited to commenting on lists, Maybe Gentoo would be benefiting |
| 26 |
from my work. Work that needs to be done per things you have proposed but |
| 27 |
expect others to do the leg work like EAPI 6 changes etc. |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
Just because you get no benefit from a lengthy thread on a mailing list. Do not |
| 30 |
assume others or the larger community has no interest. |

Sorry Michał Górny Gentoo is bigger than just YOU. You are not the sole |
| 33 |
developer or community member. Deal with it! |
