This all sounds fantastic to me. It brings documentation to the |
| 42 |
forefront, so if it's wrong we can correct or otherwise work on it. It |
| 43 |
makes some council decisions easier for others (i.e. outsiders, new |
| 44 |
Gentoo users/devs) to follow what's going on as well. I agree that |
| 45 |
perhaps requiring it would be a bit too much, at least until we find |
| 46 |
lazier ways to do it, but it can't hurt to start talking about it. |
