Why? Gentoo is about the community. Requiring a basic standard of commit
quality a) reduces the number of community members who are able to
contribute, 2) leads to fewer forums posts discussing how to fix
problems, iii) hurts Gentoo's DistroWatch statistics by reducing the
volume of commits, and fourthly, discriminates unfairly against
competency-challenged developers by imposing subjective interpretations
of the value of source code from a position of unearned authority. This
is against the code of conduct, and is bad for the community!
