To echo the concerns of others, you have the right idea but |
13 |
the wrong attitude. Gentoo is a free software project, |
14 |
composed of hobbyists. Unlike Red Hat or SuSE, Gentoo remains |
15 |
a hobbyist distro. Nobody can put aside their job or life |
16 |
to work fulltime on fixing these bugs, but your contributions |
17 |
are important, provided they are ultimately useful. |

I too think this thread has achieved nothing other than to |
20 |
annoy users and developers. A solution was already in the works, |
21 |
but brash attitudes and reaction to them stalemated any further |
22 |
discussion. |

The discussion was not in the spirit of "Open Source." |
