Vitaly, I really don't appreciate the fact that you call my actions "suspicious" and question my motives. If you have any concern about this, why not talk to me personally before posting something to a public list that implies that I can't be trusted? Particularly since this issue is so sensitive to so many? I'm not demanding that people trust me at face value, but at the same time I would also ask that people (*particularly* new developers!) try to have at least an ounce of concern for this project. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to realize that a developer email stating that our existing ad hoc policy is "_at least_ suspicious" can be damaging to future Gentoo Linux development. Just last week we had a developer (now on "probation") attack someone on this list because they used MS Outlook to compose their email! I *really* don't want to see fear mongering and personal attacks on this list, *especially* coming from Gentoo Linux developers.
