That's not what I'm saying. I have explained this ad nauseum, I will |

not go at it again. |

Of course I have. But then, why are you "communicating" this on -user? |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
It doesn't matter if you convince me of your POV, or if I change |
| 24 |
yours. You need to change the mind of the people that will write the |
| 25 |
code, either following the new changes pushed from upstream, or |
| 26 |
implementing the support code for the stuff upstream will stop |
| 27 |
supporting. |

I find the dicussions here usually interesting, but this list is |
| 30 |
basically for helping us each other, and to discuss general topics |
| 31 |
related to Gentoo stuff. It is not to decide the direction of the |
| 32 |
distribution. |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
Want to change the direction of the distro? You know what needs to be done. |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
And for sure is not discussing it in -user. |
