But -dev is where the substantial discussion takes place. -dev would still be the "inside loop." And a community based project simply should not exclude/reduce (even simply in perception) the community's involvement in that loop. Correct me if I'm reading you wrong but you seem, in your choice of words, to be relegating non-devs to being "outside of the Gentoo project." And that is exactly the attitude we need to steer clear of, and exactly the DNA that this proposal would inject. I love/admire/adore/have great gratitude for our developers. They are certainly part of this project. But, even as a lowly user - I am also. Or perhaps I've just been reading too much Marx... W. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
