And what would be the use of those 'user comments'? Do you believe it would change anything? So what is the purpose of asking more users from feedback *we do not want*? Would it make you feel better if you were asked to raise your objection? Would you feel better claiming that we did it against objections of many users? Or do you believe we would abandon it and decide not to do anything because of the resulting bikeshed -- which seems to be a recurring theme lately? Yes, I *do not want feedback* on *how to do Gentoo* from people who do *not help me do Gentoo* but instead only complain and demand. -- Best regards, Michał Górny
