If the license changes before it's a full replacment ... remove the profile. If it changes after it became the standard ... fork it. I think at the moment there's no plan to replace anything. There was a simple request to add a profile to make it easier for some people to develop something. We can talk about replacing anything later, when there are more intrusive requests like changing all ebuilds etc. I honestly think people are just bringing up the wildest things just to find another reason to say "no". It Looks a bit like even good ideas and project have no chance when they come from "the wrong people". Christian -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
