It just seems like a lot of people want to keep a clear line of who is a "developer" and who isn't. It makes no difference to me but since I am one of the people who would be affected by it I thought it would be good to let you know that I don't care what my email address is either way. Whatever the council decides is fine with me. I trust all the council members to make a good decision that is best for Gentoo overall. -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
