I'm not quite sure I understand your response here. He didn't ask for
you to explain the strategy. He asked for you to provide plain-text
patches.

I think a point has been made pretty clear at this point: they need
plain-text patches. Requiring developers to learn an entirely new
work-flow just to get your patches into the tree is time-consuming and
bothersome, at the least. This isn't a discussion about whether or not
your system is better. It's about how best to integrate your work into
Gentoo.

The developers have decided the best way is through plain-text
patches. That's really all there is to it. Take it or leave it.

The discussion about how best to join multiple branches of development
across the open-source world together really does not belong in this
thread, as far as I can tell.
