Honestly, much of this whole thread really seems too much like prior restraint for my taste. Should devs be able to start controversial projects without permission? Should devs be able to modify copyright lines in a branch of a repository? And so on... I don't think we should be yelling at people for what amounts to talking about things, or mocking things up. If somebody wrote a bot to go changing things in the portage tree I'd be concerned, but getting worked up about things that end up in repositories for all of a day or two is over-reaction. That said, I don't want to turn away those who have concerns either. If somebody thinks that something illegal is being done by all means speak up. However, the solution is to not go into panic mode, but to step back, evaluate the situation, and then make the right decision. Rich
