Keep in mind that this could just as easily result in only having 2 |
| 15 |
recruiters as it could result in having 5 fully-dedicated recruiters. |

That's the thing with volunteer organizations. You can only tell |
| 18 |
people that they aren't allowed to do something. You can't really |
| 19 |
force them to work on what you consider the highest priority. |

There are a LOT of vital roles in Gentoo that are understaffed. And |
| 22 |
yet there are a lot of developers who work on completely unrelated |
| 23 |
things that perhaps aren't as vital. The problem is we can't just |
| 24 |
treat them as fungible resources that can be reassigned. |
