I just find this whole situation hysterical since you have so many people saying the Council needs to "grow a pair" and actually try to enact some good, and when we do, you hear a few vocal individuals running around screaming like we killed their kitten. So which is it?
Why would the council need to "grow a pair" when it already has SpanKY's ;o) I only proposed the veto thing because I felt that it could be a good compromise to reassure those devs who fall for the conspiracy theories, so that they feel safe and get back to work. I never believed the council would realistically do something that would harm Gentoo. I'm sorry for the confusion if any.
Would you rather have a strong Council that is capable of making decisions without having to worry about whether that decision is popular or not, or would you rather have a weak Council that cannot do anything without prior developer approval, completely castrating their abilities to enact change for fear of being removed from office?
Agreed, here. There was one vote last summer when we collectively decided that the current council members were the best for the job. And that's all we need until next summer. I have been reading carefully a lot of emails and irclogs for some time, especially during the recent events, and I must say that I'm very pleased with the way things went, and how people (of the council and devrel mainly) interacted. While I'm not 100% satisfied with the outcome, which may be a sure sign the right decisions were made, I certainly won't complain. Denis. -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
