So, if you have any problem with it, speak up now. While I cautiously support the idea, limiting objections to a day appears to be ramming something thru, and beyond that, simply isn't practical for a number of folks who may have either valid objections or valid suggestions that could ease potential future issues. This is /particularly/ the case when some may be ignoring the list ATM due to the thread getting the most activity ATM. If folks aren't interested in that, they may be avoiding the list ATM as a simple matter of efficiency and personal sanity. Also, it's Friday. What about those that have taken off for a long weekend? Please... Tuesday at the very earliest seems reasonable, and I'd suggest an entire week from first post, so next Friday. Also note that portage is in 2.1-rc freeze ATM, and while this might be considered a bug-fix exception, /some/ sort of debate, more than a day, seems warranted. Otherwise, 2.2 would look like a more reasonable target. Again, this is from someone that otherwise favors the idea. A day's debate is simply not enough, and looks like you are just trying to ram it thru without /letting/ there be debate. Please reconsider at least on the timing. -- Duncan - List replies preferred.
