Fair points across the board but this stood out to me. We *do* have |
| 7 |
groups that, on some subset of the tree, exert what they feel to be |
| 8 |
winners. QA, the KDE team, and GNOME team have all made formal |
| 9 |
recommendations or requirements that they expect to see in ebuilds going |
| 10 |
forward. QA is blessed by council of course, so they have a bit more |
| 11 |
sway. But we're lying if we say we don't have committees making |
| 12 |
decisions on packaging guidelines. |

That's not the same as choosing a single package and telling every one |
| 15 |
to scram, but we're not hands-off, either. |
