no offense, but this is one of the worst proposals i've ever read on
this list; why? because, one of gentoo's major problems is that it is
becoming more and more a toy exclusively for its own developers. by
banning non-dev contributors from this list some of you may feel better
- but gentoo as a whole will probably suffer. silencing people doesn't
make their opinions invalid. what gentoo needs in my opinion is a clear
structure, strict and unmistakable rules about what $dev may do and what
$dev must not do, and ways to enforce these rules; this, and not
moderating or restricting communication channels, would improve the way
people are working together.
as this may be my last post - and it seems to fit in quite nicely - i
also want to say:
gentoo's problem is not that ciaranm is a troll. the problem is that
ciaranm is not a troll.
