Let's start at the beginning of what you've said here. First, you claim |
10 |
the reasons are insufficient. If the lead of devrel and all 7 council |
11 |
members disagree with that, you might want to reset your idea of what |
12 |
levels of abuse are acceptable in Gentoo. |

Second, we apparently failed to make it clear enough for non-English |
15 |
natives exactly how this worked. There are basically 3 possible |
16 |
positions to have on anything: |
17 |
|
18 |
1. Clear belief that an issue should be approved |
19 |
2. Clear belief that an issue should be denied |
20 |
3. Ambiguous: based on the observed evidence, it could go either way. |

The description of which times we would go with the original decision is |
23 |
to explain what happens under scenario 3 above. This applies to not just |
24 |
devrel but to any team or person within Gentoo making a decision that |
25 |
gets appealed. If there's not a good enough reason (in our judgment) to |
26 |
change the original decision, we leave it. |

I found no good reason to reverse any of the decisions. The closest |
36 |
thing I saw was some ambiguity, and that is specifically what we decided |
37 |
to defer to devrel on as I described above. |
