Imagine a new user or visitor trolling this ML. They want to learn more about Gentoo. Then they come across the Paludis thread. How TF can they possibly follow what is going on? Then, as the thread wears on it degenerates into more personal attacks. So it's Bennett/McCreesh against the world. OK. However, continuing the thread serves no useful purpose except, IMHO, to completely obfuscate the original point of the thread -- to allow paludis to have a profile or sub profile and/or whether or not it should be on the tree or in an overlay.
While I am completely against any form of censorship, I certainly wish I had the ability to block that thread and all further postings to it. Maybe paludis can set up a blog on the berlios site? There are many important issues that have surfaces WRT paludis that affect the core of gentoo (pun intended). These issues cannot be resolved on a ML. There appear to be certain policy issues that the council needs to resolve. So, while I am not endorsing pablum, at least let's cut the thread. I see nothing useful coming from it anymore. -- Peter -- [email protected] mailing list
