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.
No one forces you to read, feel free to ignore this thread, others are
gleaning useful information from it.
