I'd worry more about what makes sense for Gentoo, and less about who |
15 |
is allowed to make it happen. I'm not suggesting the Council should |
16 |
overstep its authority/etc. If something makes sense for Gentoo we |
17 |
can lead the way to it happening regardless of what it takes |
18 |
(decisions, dev-wide votes, whatever). If something doesn't make |
19 |
sense, then what it takes is moot. |

I think the real barrier to reconciling foo-cleaner with bar-updater |
22 |
is devs talking to each other and general interest levels. If |
23 |
somebody is really interested in taking a leadership role here they're |
24 |
welcome to step up. If something takes off we can support it with the |
25 |
right meta-structure. However, I'm not a big fan of |
26 |
build-it-and-they-will-come. |

Would be interested in hearing from devs actually working on all of |
35 |
these projects as to whether they think there is a benefit likely to |
36 |
emerge/etc. |
37 |
|

I'm completely supportive of this if the devs involved have interest |
39 |
in making it happen/etc. |

Also, thanks Andreas all the same for bringing up the topic. I'm |
42 |
interested in seeing where the discussion goes. |
