Oh, this is a good one. Without introducing the problem, it is being
assured that devrel has a problem because (some?) Gentoo users have a
problem. So I ask very straightforwardly when this was pointed out to
devrel, because I don't see the information being introduced to the
wider public that has led to this public e-mail accusing devrel of not
doing their job. Excuse me please, but how did I not turn out to ask
the right question about the information that wasn't exposed on a
public mailing list? And if I did put a vitriolic spin on it, then how
would you sanctify your actions that bypassed normal procedure without
actually at least summarising how that procedure ran to a dead end?
