They didn't suspend the project working outside Gentoo. They suspended it working *inside* Gentoo, which is what prompted the move in the first place. I'm not really sure where you think that this makes it off-topic. > > Please, cut the bullshit and stop deflecting these arguments as a > > personal attack, which you *always* seem to do once an argument reaches > > a point that you have nothing meaningful to say. > > So... sunrise has been suspended, moved to it's own domain, moved to > non-gentoo hardware - and some people still are not satisfied and need > to find something to annoy the bunch of people working on it.

What's this, if not a personal thing? Perhaps it is a few developers trying to actually enforce the council's decision and make sure that the 100% unofficial project doesn't *look* official. Using "InOverlay" as if Sunrise is some sort of Gentoo official overlay is a prime example of this. Let's look at it this way. If someone from Sunrise were to say "this ebuild is available in our overlay" in a comment, nobody would really have a problem. Having someone with an @gentoo.org address setting "InOverlay" makes it look like Gentoo is endorsing the overlay. Remember that when you use your @gentoo.org address, you're speaking for Gentoo in the user's eyes. Using "InOverlay" would be the same as someone from BMG (that happened to be a developer) doing it because it is in the BMG overlay. It's simply not accurate. Now, the java team is an official Gentoo project, unlike Sunrise. I don't see how a non-Gentoo project and an official Gentoo project are similar in this regard, at all, but you're welcome to keep arguing it that way. ;] Of course, I haven't seen any of the bugs in question to see exactly what it is that they were doing, I'm just making an observation based on what I've been seeing in this thread. Really, people... just because someone has a problem with your *IDEA* doesn't make it an attack on *YOU*. It just means they don't like your idea.
