Michal You're being emotional in my opinion and as a result, are painting *all* Gentoo developers with a broad brush. Relax. We don't need yet another policy to "fix" two problems you've encountered, this sounds silly. To be honest, I don't understand your 2nd example: a change was made in an eclass and as all eclass changes, these need to be discussed either here on the mailing list or via IRC. You seem to be maintainer of git-r3; who made the commit? did you sign off on it? if not, why was it merged? etc. Give us a bit more context please. Your message looks more like a rant rather than a rational proposal. Cheers, -- Patrice Clement Gentoo Linux developer http://www.gentoo.org
