Take it up with them. You've yet to state a reason why it concerns you. Its no better then the people who are saying that it'll be a huge QA issue but they are not elaborating on it. As some are aware and some are not, the basic job I do for gentoo is a QA one. I help to ensure the x86 arch tree is hopefully as stable as possible. So if anything this will affect me directly. I however want to see what the project can do. If it does end up as a problem then it can be killed off, but doing so before it has a chance to fly is part of what has been keeping us from innovating as a distribution. It means we're maturing, but we are still a community project and as such should be allowed to fly with possibly wild idea's when it suits us.
As well, we are all human, as you are Ciaran. This means that we make mistakes. However, what you are also asking is to NOT trust those people who are qualified to be part of gentoo to be able to do the work and perform it in a decent way. I will not begin to doubt any of the people who have the gentoo flag as part of who they are because of being human. As has been said as well, we learn more from the mistakes we make then somehow having avoided it without realizing why. Thirdly, I know one of the issues with one of the leaders of the project, is the fact that they are not a ebuild developer. I'd like to have them take the second quiz simply to prove that they have the knowledge to be trusted to review the ebuilds. Course with the number that he's seen I'm sure he's helped take care of things that would make the rest of us go...how did they think that was ever a good idea. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.4 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFEzY0sSENan+PfizARAu2kAJ488MHWDCtFY8SKetoC1wxFtpPk7wCfW97W DxJvWeVcd87OukymD/M+Crs= =kdC9 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
