that is one of the most stupid things I ever read on this list. So users |
| 23 |
should never be part of discussions? Their needs? Their opinions? |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
Also, drobbins continued his attacks even after explained SEVERAL times that |
| 26 |
the stuff ciaranm was doing was a) wanted and b) helpfull and c) supervised |
| 27 |
by devs. |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
But he couldn't shut up OR accept that things changed since he left. |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
Somebody who can not deal with changes, is somebody certainly unfit for |
| 32 |
leadership. |

Yes, he started gentoo (my first gentoo was 1.0). And compared to the chaotic |
| 35 |
times, gentoo is a heaven of stability today. Back under drobbins leadership |
| 36 |
it was ok, that the tree was broken or some update screwed your system. |
| 37 |
Happened all the time - nobody complained (too loudly). And some day he left. |
| 38 |
Things changed. Gentoo is much more stable today. There is no breakage of the |
| 39 |
week. No large scale surprising 'nothing works anymore'. A lot of things were |
| 40 |
done - without him. |
| 41 |
|
| 42 |
And he comes back and thinks that he can do better? Please - he already has |
| 43 |
shown that he can't. He has shown that he will leave projects after a short |
| 44 |
while (stampede, freebsd, enoch, gentoo, Microsoft). He has never shown that |
| 45 |
he can pull through with a project. |
