There is a lot of irony in this entire discussion. We are actually talking about going against what the heck part of the reason this project was started. Are we seriously that *can't find the word I'm looking for* idiotically to not see that we're arguing over not allowing a user a choice in what they want to do. That we are so high and mighty that we automatically know what is better for the user then they themselves know? Who defined us as the ones to make that choice for someone else, when we are supposedly about allowing choice. That is the issue at hand at the core of this. Its called choice. People can choose to use a separate program to download the sunrise overlays. That separates it entirely from the core tree itself. A disclaimer for checking out could be added that is prominent that will warn that these are a service provided to the community from the community. That those who have gone through the "developer mentorship" will continue to work on the core of the heart of gentoo, allowing us to focus and make the product so much better and quicker that you'll be blindsided with the new improved product. We'll have a rebirth so to speak. Bloody, I mean seriously...think about what it is we are arguing over, and then remember what gentoo is, why you came to it in the first place. That will probably tell you where it should go. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.4 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFEza2pSENan+PfizARAtG2AJ9vvGWRcsRfNtr8oUGgRnK79dcADwCfdP1I qiTETbjrFc2qBrLYFiHn3xM= =Oofv -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
