Nobody can block progress under the current model. If you feel |
| 9 |
otherwise, please point them out so that they can be dealt with. |

I'm fine with having more support for overlays/etc, but I don't think |
| 12 |
it is as easy as you're making it out to be. |

Gentoo is already fairly non-authoritative where the main tree is |
| 20 |
concerned. I'm all for more overlay support, but I doubt it is going |
| 21 |
to fix the kinds of issues you're bringing up. |

The problem with java is that nobody wants to work on it. Lots of |
| 24 |
people want to talk about working on it, but nobody is writing |
| 25 |
ebuilds. |

The problem with games is that nobody wants to work on those either. |
| 28 |
Lots of people like to talk about the games project blocking progress, |
| 29 |
but now that this has been eliminated, there isn't some flood of new |
| 30 |
games ebuilds. |

| 32 |
People love to talk about elitist old-timers blocking progress, but it |
| 33 |
seems to me that many of the old-timers don't do a whole lot of |
| 34 |
anything. I think the complaint is really that other people aren't |
| 35 |
doing the work we want them to do. |
