That's not what I'm saying.

Of course I have. But then, why are you "communicating" this on -user? It doesn't matter if you convince me of your POV, or if I change yours. You need to change the mind of the people that will write the code, either following the new changes pushed from upstream, or implementing the support code for the stuff upstream will stop supporting. I find the dicussions here usually interesting, but this list is basically for helping us each other, and to discuss general topics related to Gentoo stuff. It is not to decide the direction of the distribution. Want to change the direction of the distro? You know what needs to be done. And for sure is not discussing it in -user.
