Also remember this - Linus has a list devoted solely to _his_ project, which _he_ administers; therefore, he can pretty much say what he wants on that devoted list where for all intents and purposes _he is king_. |

Unlike this list which is not devoted to paladius or portage, or anything else other than general Gentoo support for general users. |

So scopes vary, ownership varies, and latitude varies greatly too. |

You are changing words. I said "less objectionable" you summarized it |

who accomplish a lot are given greater latitude. |
