*yawn*

Is there a point to this drivel or are you now shooting for the "If you
don't agree, then you're a terrorist" mentality?  While it is true that
much of Gentoo is a single pool, so to speak, there are many areas that
are not.  When was the last time you fixed some bugs for the Games team?
When was the last time I fixed some bugs for you?

Many parts of Gentoo are still very isolated and rightly so, as they
don't affect other parts of the distribution.

Territorialism, eh?  Please, continue with your witty banter and
insults.  Simply because I find your proposal to be a complete waste of
*my* time when working on *my* packages and you have no valid response
to that you see the need to start throwing out labels to people.
Whatever, communist.  ;]

But you have stated already many times that you think this should be
policy and required.  That implies forcing this upon all developers at
all levels.

I've taken the time to point out several instances where your proposal
falls flat.  You have done nothing to counter these other than start
labeling me or making excuses or exceptions.  I'd say that's pretty
apparent that you're grasping at straws.

Actually, I would very much have a say in it, as would any other
developer that has enough sense to speak with their Top-Level Managers
on issues such as this that they feel strongly about.
