Okay so you have your idea. Keep it. But don't try to force it on people who are actual developers. > It shouldn't.

And who has to maintain this? Gentoo Infra. You want to do the conversion and maintain it yourself? Feel free, nobody's stopping you.

It's the same bullshit of insisting that someone else should do something just because you think it's better, without actually asking for feasibility. > I could help out, I > know a couple of infra guys, but I can't even get recruited because > quizzes need too much contiguous time out of my schedule.. That's true for everybody. And knowing the infra guys doesn't mean that you're infra still. I'm not infra either and I don't speak _for_ them, but for this kind of stuff, instead of starting a SEVENTEEN POSTS thread on a mailing list that should be dedicated to other stuff, the solution is first _ask what the status is_. With all due respect, but having Michael going off a tangent on caching proxy servers, Rich starting to ponder between bandwidth and CPU, and you calling for shutdown dates, all without changing a stupid subject line to at least show you're no longer speaking about the original topic (it's not like people can be psychic that you're talking about GIT migrations when the topic says "CIA replacement"), is obnoxious. -- Diego Elio Pettenò — Flameeyes [email protected] — http://blog.flameeyes.eu/
