We didn't switch to github. > > I don't mind change but it seem this one wasn't really ready to be done > yet although most made it sound like it was. IMO we took too long as it is. I'd have pushed it faster, but just as I don't have access to fix this bug I didn't have access to implement git, and those with access wanted to keep Changelogs, so we did. If you haven't already gotten the impression, Gentoo is mostly a conglomeration of various associations of devs who tend to do their own thing, each with different sets of knowledge/access. When there is a direct conflict between two groups we generally (if often not enthusiastically) accept the votes of the Council to settle disputes. For the most part the Council has the ability to tell devs to NOT do things. When something needs to be done somebody has to step up and do it. Complaining on the lists mainly seems to de-motivate people from working on anything. By all means point out that something isn't working, but attitudes tend to be contagious. -- Rich
