You know that real standards aren't a free for all, right? They're usually written by a small group, and then commented on by interested parties when they're already well into being written. Which is exactly what we're doing...
You forgot to mention that the "small group" is either a subset of the interested parties or is commissioned by them. Which doesn't appear to be the case here.
Because there are a lot of people with opinions out there, and they will all start saying things like "well it would be better if things were like $blah, so you should change it to say $blah".
Which means exactly what it means. You would settle for something mediocre? We are here to help you, Ciaran.
Have a look at the amount of noise that comes up any time this kind of discussion takes place on this list...
Well, it seems that many devs believe there is something wrong in the way PMS is conducted. Their observation isn't based on the result itself, but on the status (or rather non-status) and behavior of some of the project members. Some, even, question the intentions. The noise you hear is the alarm that's ringing. Denis. -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
