Seemant is half right here. The discussion should stay here, but only if the discussion is about the technical issues involved in multiple suffixes. Anybody who plans on simply making this a bitching session should reconsider sending any replies, at all. How someone can even pretend that this is such an important issue is beyond me. Nobody held some secret emergency meeting. Most likely, three Council members were simply talking, and decided that the best course of action is to block further changes to the tree involving multiple suffixes until a proper decision can be discussed and decided upon. This makes complete sense to me as it seems like something that should be done to keep the changes from spreading for the short term. Seriously, what is up with all the anti-Council conspiracy theories? Are you guys really *that* against the Council trying to do *anything* productive, at all? Should we all just give up and quit? It seems that every time I open my email client, somebody out there is trying to say that by the Council using the powers afforded to them that somehow they're conspiring to take down Gentoo. Yeah... because that's just what the Council wants to do, make Gentoo a steaming pile of rubble so we can be the supreme rulers of... nothing. Now, if only we can get all these pesky developers out of the way, we could rule the world! --=20 Chris Gianelloni Release Engineering Strategic Lead Alpha/AMD64/x86 Architecture Teams Games Developer/Council Member/Foundation Trustee Gentoo Foundation (Ashamed to call myself a developer these days) --=-QSNwA5mb0HGPlzZFo/wY Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.3 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQBGLpNUkT4lNIS36YERAgGIAKCaierPVHudWcytW/42HsWtxxjE6wCgrygc XSJI8qBloPCFotiPW70gfIk= =RAvi -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-QSNwA5mb0HGPlzZFo/wY-- -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
