It's a niggling thing and nothing major as such. But ideas flow from concepts. And the idea that developers are in herds is not a solid concept from which to begin. While the Ciaran episode has come to an end, the circumstances that led to that episode have not changed: mutual respect for fellow developers. That is the idea. The concept should lay that down: a developer is not a mindless follower, but a human being and a talented developer worthy of respect. This is a very small issue in the scheme of things, and a small hole to fill. I'd rather fill it in now :) Because it's supposed to be fun, too. Thanks, Seemant -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
