13 Currently, no, but changing that has been proposed and IMO seems
14 likely to happen.

16 And if the Council told somebody that they're welcome to stay in
17 Gentoo, and Comrel boots them anyway, I tend to suspect that most
18 people won't just go quietly into the night. Like I said, it isn't
19 like Comrel locks them up in a basement somewhere. They can just fire
20 off an email to somebody on Council and things would get attention
21 quickly.

26 Are you suggesting that people don't consistently follow rules as well as CPUs?
27
28 And the problems generally start off just fine on their own without
29 any special help. I've yet to see a case where two people are getting
30 along fine and Comrel is feeling bored and decides to pretend that
31 they're having a dispute that they need to step in and resolve.
