The actual policy was established in 2005 in a vote by the developer community. Thus, changes to the GLEP should be only to clarify actual policy (and I don't know where it is written down. I remember the vote, but don't know who controls the actual policy document). I believe that policy changes would require another vote; GLEP 39 changes should not change policy. At least, that is my recollection and understanding. > > -- > gentoo-dev@lists.gentoo.org mailing list > Regards, Ferris - -- Ferris McCormick (P44646, MI) <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Developer, Gentoo Linux (Sparc, Devrel, Userrel, Trustees) -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.9 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAkhKs6IACgkQQa6M3+I///cUywCghnDT7JgB9ngb44H90SKK51IX 1FgAoJMjiAu8h5fJArjSSselZ33Xxjd4 =Lq9L -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
