This community has shown many times that it doesn't follow your logic. You've made your point, we listened, we rejected it. Please _try_ to understand that you *can't* force your opinion no matter how many times you repeat it. There are times when the majority will reach a decision you think is wrong. If the community feels their choice, albeit not perfect, will help the project, you have to respect that. That is, if you want to be part of the community :) > > If you didn't and are still leeching off our ebuild tree, then please > > file --as-needed bugs like everyone else, or shut up. > > Exherbo doesn't and never has used Gentoo ebuilds.
