This would create all sorts of confusion. Right now, you can meet someone in IRC and make a reasonable assumption that their email address is @gentoo.org. This would confuse things horribly imo. What about people like me that span multiple roles? What happens when someone (again, like me) starts out in one area, moves to another, then still a third and finally a fourth? We're going to be updating aliases all over the place and for what? How does any of this make Gentoo Linux a better distro? Does it reduce bugs? Improve QA? Can I add -staff.gentoo.org to my CFLAGS and get a 0.00001% speed increase? There is no technical reason why any of this is necessary and it doesn't provide any tangible benefits that I can see. If a user really wants to know someone's role within the project, they can go look it up on the web site. --kurt --uTRFFR9qmiCqR05s Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFDfmPUJPpRNiftIEYRAqwEAJ48q6W7ta5mDF4zs0rtO/A+iM6FFwCfV8eP sq43z2J/pv6bjVl4mMJ9tnE= =+tIY -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --uTRFFR9qmiCqR05s-- -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
