I realize that there is only a short period left in the election, but
I've been busy with IRL issues, and mgorny's trustee manifesto [1] ascribed
something to the Council members that concerned me; there's one
additional good question for the Council that I'll close with.
1. Points 1a&1c of mgorny's manifesto imply that the council can
unilaterally prevent support of any given package in Gentoo, and
basically remove the package from the distribution.
This is despite any developers that may wish to support the package.
What's your opinion of the council using this offensively against
packages? As a hypothetical, say systemd-ng comes about, with an even
worse opinionated choices than those presently in systemd. Should the
council be able to force support for openrc & systemd stop?
2. As an additional point, can you try to give your version of a simple
statement on the legal liabilities that the Council as a whole, and
the Council members as individuals, have for their actions?
