Should it not be up to them to change it? >=20 [snip] I think you mean developers not users but that's a bye the way. Authority comes to the council in two forms, that which is delegated=20 (by glep39) and that which they assume. The limits of the latter are only determined by trial and error. If the=20 council deceided to get rid of slacker marks and proxies I doubt there=20 would be a backlash from the electorate. The council is supposed to be=20 representative of the developers they represent. >=20 >=20 - --=20 Regards, Roy Bamford (NeddySeagoon) a member of gentoo-ops forum-mods treecleaners trustees -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.12 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAkpTjnIACgkQTE4/y7nJvat9NQCgqQEfr24uf1W3mWT9RVa0ep9G kU0An2+Mc/WzHBGQ6Jad9Av6W4PbaI9r =3DQuCf -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
