Regardless of my personal feelings about John's proposal, I think he intends them to be more of an addendum to the current management situation, rather than a replacement. Some parts of what he is saying I agree with, others I dont, but I do think that he isn't implying that the existing management structure should be replaced. And if a lot of people think that certain changes make the system better, why wait for the current system to fail before implementing them? --Todd -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
