Touche Mike Cummings

Mike, I have to say that your post was the best and most thought-out point of view on thie entire issue. That’s a method I can get behind, and a mindset I can embrace. And I think it would do Gentoo some good. It may even succeed in bringing some flames down.

Wait, this is Gentoo: the flames will stay — someone will have something negative to say about it (not a bad thing) and they will say it in an insulting manner, someone’s toes will get stepped on (a bad thing). I would foresee the problem to be then: “Why didn’t you tell anybody?? I’ve been doing the same thing and now we’ve duplicated work, well, not duplicated because obviously mine is better than yours, yada yada yada.”

In this particular case, you’ve won me over to your point of view, though, so no disagreement here :p
