There were lots of ideas how to organize back then, and most of them |
16 |
didn't work out as originally intended. After all we're still the |
17 |
equivalent of a herd of cats, everyone doing their thing. |

The last year or two council has mostly discussed and signed off on |
22 |
'disruptive' changes (e.g. new EAPI, changing directory layouts) |
23 |
|
24 |
I think that's a perfectly reasonable setup. |
25 |
|
26 |
The conflict resolution thing hasn't been invoked much (or at all), so |
27 |
maybe we've figured out how to quietly coexist. Mostly. |

I don't see a need to change things, if there is any change I'd go one |
32 |
level up and ask how Gentoo should be changed. |
33 |
|
34 |
There are lots of ideas, but most of it never gets the critical amount |
35 |
of manpower to happen. So instead we keep things going as they are - is |
36 |
that bad? |
37 |
(Personally I have a ton of ideas but a backlog of things to do that'll |
38 |
keep me busy for a long time, so most of it will be done when it gets done) |

Malformed question ;) |

Since my goal is to keep things as they are, for now, I've already done |
47 |
it ;) |
