It's really quite simple. Thanks to devrel's habit of making nasty threats to any developer who upsets a user, it's now necessary to post a message like this indicating that the issue was discussed before implementation. A sensible post might imply that I find these kinds of restrictions acceptable, and that I'm happy to sit around and watch the distribution be ruined by debian-style bureaucracy (anyone else see the hotbabe mess?). Anyway, I now consider my ass to be sufficiently well covered, and I've yet to see any coherent objections, so I've gone ahead with the commit. If you don't like it, feel free to not use it. -- Ciaran McCreesh : Gentoo Developer (Vim, Fluxbox, shell tools) Mail : ciaranm at gentoo.org Web : http://dev.gentoo.org/~ciaranm
