As beandog has already said, gramps has been removed from the herd. religion or theology is clearly the most appropriate category of the remaining packages. There's no need to rename the herd to "humanities" just because some folks are uncomfortable with topics and packages relating to religion. Think about your local library (Dewey decimal system) -- you don't find Bible study guides in the humanities/sociology (300s, 400s, 600s, 800s and possibly 900s (history))...you find it in 100s and 200s. The sections on "religion and philosophy". the remaining 7 packages are clearly religious in nature. Don't try to label them anything else, just because you ain't comfortable with it or don't like 'em. At least, that's my interpretation of most of the replies to this thread so far. --------------enig9D156091153A2587E46FDF24 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFGM/Qd5aFMlhMsVyURAnPvAJ9Odh487wFVgBaYN19eHYHUT6TZEwCaAlUV r0HLPwSILvPJXXw06I19FLg= =w+Dv -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------enig9D156091153A2587E46FDF24-- -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
