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

Sure, but they are not Gentoo Infra. And who has to maintain this?
Gentoo Infra. You want to do the conversion and maintain it yourself?
Feel free, nobody's stopping you. You're free to fork.

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.

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.
