I don't doubt that either. > Unfortunately, I'm not talented enough myself to be able to > contribute to a speedier solution to the problem. Neither am I.

My first thought was: if a community considers it necessary to decide upon a document that is stating the obvious by essentially saying "be respectful to others instead of treating them like shit" then there must have been something going badly wrong beforehand. This impression of mine may be wrong since I'm not informed about the internals of the Gentoo dev community, but I would bet I'm not the only one who had this - or a similar - impression. Like you do, I also hope these conflicts will be resolved quickly. There are resons why Gentoo is my choice among the Linux distributions. If I had to change, now that would be something that would *really* hurt me. Regards mks -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
