That sounds like a great idea. We could create a code of conduct, and then designate individuals to enforce it. Maybe we should call them proctors: http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/council/coc.xml What could go wrong? Seriously though, this debate like many others recently probably shouldn't be viewed as for-Gentoo and against-Gentoo. Lots of people care about Gentoo, we just don't always agree on what is best. In this case the issue is pragmatism vs idealism, and both have their place. What is important is that we go ahead and share our views, debate points within reason, don't obsess over getting in the last word, and then work together to support the decisions that get made. My two cents in this debate is that I'm willing to accept Ciaran's suggestion that Portage 2.2's approach has its limitations, but it is the best thing we have implemented now, and thus I'll take the 98% solution over the 20% solution (which is what we get if all we do is argue over how to get to 100%(. If somebody wants to write the code to get us from 98->100%, I'm sure we'll all be for it. Rich
