Cite?  I just posted what the council ACTUALLY said, and this wasn't
on it.  I'd re-post it, but I think it was only two posts ago for my
part.

Cite?  A random council member posting that they don't think that we
should take drastic action isn't the "council" saying something.  Even
all seven council members posting random posts on lists isn't the
"council" saying something.

Believe it or not, the council is composed of mortal human beings who
tend to discuss ideas openly and some turn out to be good and some
turn out to be bad, and they tend to not vote on things until it is
pretty clear that it is the right thing to do.  If a council member
posts an idea on the list and a non-council member replies pointing
out the issues and offering a better proposal in response, that is a
good thing.

There have been no candidates to vote for, and voting for candidates
to lead the games team is the responsibility of the games team, not
the Council.  The Council DID vote to place an interim lead in charge
of the games team for the purpose of facilitating an election.
However, there was no response to repeated calls to join the team.

This whole issue seems to be a tempest in a teapot, honestly.  I don't
really consider it ideal, but there is little in Gentoo I would
consider ideal.  Ultimately we all tend to step up and work on things
we think are important to us, and this item is no different.  If
somebody really cares about this issue, they'll join the games team.

Pointing out issues on lists that people aren't aware of is helpful.
Harping on them repeatedly isn't.  If you want to offer solutions, do
it.  If you just want to boss people around, try running for Council
and see how well it works out even if you do get elected.
