Rather than complaining on how spineless the last Council and ways of getting it stronger, it's interesting to look back at one-year-worth of Council decisions and see where (and by whom) it has been disobeyed. I for one was quite demotivated to see that the Infra team could overrule the Council (and did it twice). Fixing this is the first step in having a strong Council / leader / whatever. -- Koon Member of the last Council -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
