I'm not sure I see that as a council issue, to be honest, but that's ok.

You see, that would have been my first approach, instead of a rushed
council weighing in.

Happy to do that, in the general case.  In this specific case, however,
it's valid here, because the entire thread revolves around a rather rash

pretty much all Gentoo developers (and prospective developers).

Thanks,

Seemant
