And I bet if a bug / feature request were filed, it would be closed as |
| 18 |
"ain't going to happen." I know that doesn't exist but they may make |
| 19 |
that available for just this one purpose. I think Gentoo has more than |
| 20 |
enough communication methods already. Forums, the docs and a LOT of |
| 21 |
mailing lists. One more way is not going to help anything. If a person |
| 22 |
can't find a answer, either they ain't looking or it hasn't happened yet. |
