Could you talk to some Debian people about how it's working out for them? (Or find a webpage that does this already.) I know they started it, but I'm not sure of the good and bad things that resulted. What I'm looking for is a list of potential costs & benefits. One thing I do like about this idea is that it reintroduces more of a meritocracy. Thanks, Donnie -- gentoo-dev@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
