That is not the question I asked. I would like to know why you have chosen not to help with the effort so far and have not voiced your opinion on gentoo-scm which is where the migration has been discussed, even though it is clearly important to you. In general, the way to participate in any open source project (and I believe this holds for a team in Gentoo as well) is not - "You're doing it wrong, let me show you how". It's a combination of, "How can I help?" and "Why don't we try to do things this other way?" Regards, -- Arun Raghavan http://arunraghavan.net/ (Ford_Prefect | Gentoo) & (arunsr | GNOME)
