Saying it's someone's call and that you support them in making that decision
strikes me as the chain-of-command in operation.

And I note you're not saying that you think the Council have been slacking
in the way you outlined in your earlier post as the motivation for this
policy.

Politicking and sniping? Just like the old days; everyone else has moved on.
Why not just concentrate on your Gentoo fork[1]? Or is all this FUD just a
way of slowing down the competition? Well it's been working for 2 or 3
years, I can see why you keep on with the tactic.

I assume you won't be using the Gentoo tree, with its shoddy QA, for
exherbo?
