Turning it off will decrease organizational problems, make the |
| 27 |
distribution more focused and eventually more high quality, because |
| 28 |
people would be able to actually work together on the _core_ of gentoo |
| 29 |
(toolchain, base-system, eclasses, PM...). |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
So, I was specifically talking about a distributed model _opposed_ to |
| 32 |
adding new "developers" every time we are short on a team. |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
Of course, this would also require us to actually work together _with_ |
| 35 |
the community. |
