You're somehow implying that being an AT is not as good as being a dev.
Wrong.
My understanding is that this GLEP is supposed to make AT as good as being a dev, but with a different role, one that doesn't need commit access.
My point exactly! Why have another category?
If the people involved decide they want to become committing devs, it also make it easier to make that transition. If they don't want to commit, they can stay as an AT.
Then shall we reclassify all the developers that currently don't have commit access to the portage tree?
