This is after all the _Gentoo_ Council we're speaking of, not a body that is concerned with non-Gentoo matters. > All of them [...] would be ideal candidates to > get the best of both distros and deepen a cooperation and common understanding > between both. In my opinion it is in the best interest of Gentoo at this point to ignore Exherbo and to silence those people involved with Exherbo that have been so divisive and generated so much conflict in Gentoo channels. > This strengthening bridge of understanding can be seen in dev- > zero's move to appoint ciaranm as his proxy for today's council meeting. To appoint as proxy for a council meeting someone who has been booted from Gentoo is a clear lapse of judgement, and would in my eyes disqualify the involved council member from functioning in that position. > While the other candidates certainly have great merits, they tend to only see > one side and concentrate too much on Gentoo alone. I would hope so. The people we elect to the council should concentrate on Gentoo, otherwise they'd have a conflict of interest. Cheers, Ben
