They follow the rules when they want to. I can't find an official policy that says that a package must be moved from= =20 ~arch after the thirty day period is complete.

We all do what we can manage in the time we have available. If your expectations can't be met by Gentoo, there are plenty of commercial= =20 distributions out there who *do* have paid staff.

We're trying to help you. = If=20 this isn't the sort of help you find useful, then Gentoo Linux is probably= =20 the wrong choice for you. If you're going to use Gentoo, it's important that you have the right=20 expectations about Gentoo Linux and the *very* hard working volunteers (dev= s=20 and users alike) who give up their free time to contribute. Yes, lots of things could be better. Lord knows I'm quick to be vocal abou= t=20 that myself. But to make things better takes manpower (and womanpower ;-)= =20 and people willing to roll their sleeves up and get involved.
