not really ... more like handing out @gentoo.org addresses to people
was becoming a gimmick.  i'm quite proud to have a @gentoo.org e-mail
and dont really like the idea of trivializing it.

this is why we have been retiring people.  if a Gentoo dev is useless, 
then lets go with iggy's GLEP and vote the worthless cruft off the 
island.

being a 'full dev' implies you can be held accountable and are 
required to fulfill a significant amount of responsibility.  AT's dont 
generally want that level of commitment.  i'm not saying that what 
they contribute is meaningless (they have a useful role in the Gentoo 
project), just that i'd like to think that i, and other 'full devs', 
take it to the next level.
