So, I don't think that statement is accurate. Heh, that's a valid point. > Not trying to be pedantic, but the notion that the majority of Gentoo > support(s|ed) GLEP 41 is one that I believe to be incorrect. I've never said (that I think that) the majority supports GLEP 41. In fact, i think the vast majority bluntly doesn't care about it at all, as they aren't affected by it anyway. However, of those who gave feedback on the first draft, a majority said "we need a subdomain". Those who thought that a subdomain would be a bad idea didn't step up at that moment (including me), at least if I recall right. -- Simon Stelling Gentoo/AMD64 Operational Co-Lead blubb@gentoo.org -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
