Why should gentoo do it? While this statement likely will be twisted around as "gentoo developers don't want enterprise", what I'm asking specifically is why pulling and maintaining a subset of ebuilds is something that must exist within gentoo. We *do* have projects external to gentoo. Either way, 'open-mindness' bit is off- I'm mentioning this alternative due to the fact that it's not a matter of 'open-mindness', matter of interest. Can't make folk do what they don't give a damn about. > Just look at all the comments made from my thread earlier. > You cannot make an enterprise distro without > focus or direction and a leader.

Sub project or external, your stuff, your decisions- reaction was to y'all pushing that management structure upon gentoo as a whole, rather then the folk who desire it. Meanwhile, either we can discuss glep19 specifics, or continue working over an issue that bluntly doesn't matter right now- management structure matters not if y'all don't have the basic technical reqs nailed down. So can we stick tech crap at this point please? ~harring
