I think that now we've come full-circle, and rendered half the
original goals of this thread m00t.

And while I still have everyone's attention, I'd like to point out
that the tone of people on a small channel restricted to devs-only; a
place 90% of devs will never end up in, is not where I would start my
crusade.

If the participants of this discussion really want to make Gentoo a
gentler and nicer place to be, I would suggest that they start with
places that will actually make a difference. For example, gentoo-dev
ML, gentoo-project (where this discussion should have taken place),
gentoo-user, #gentoo-dev, #gentoo-soc (where a lot of our recruits
come from), #gentoo, the forums, the planet, etc.

No, really, flaming #gentoo-infra on the gentoo-dev mailing list is
silly, useless *and* ironic (in this case).

And to everyone who is getting very angry right now, please refrain[1].
