Actually I thought about it, but it seems @-project has no attention
from developers, and what I want to know if is more developers see
this as a problem, or not, or just don't care (if the later is the
case, the thread will just die shortly).

Anyway, next time I'll use @-project, and let's see if someone
actually cares about that mailing list.

unfortunately (fortunately?), that's the way the Gentoo community wants it.
gentoo-dev is for development only. any non-development stuff goes to the
gentoo-project list. you're most likely right there are a lot less people
subscribed there, but that is because the people who arent subscribed there
dont care about non-development issues.

even if there may be a set of people not on the -project list but on the -dev
list, and they have an opinion on this particular topic, putting the thread
here is not appropriate. if they truly care, they can signup, fetch the
relevant mails from the archive, and respond.

Here's one way to help get some more attention for the discussion you
want to have, even if it's on a list with a smaller audience. As with
any other topic, feel free to post a pointer on gentoo-dev-announce to
tell people:

what (the topic),
when (when you will start the discussion), and
where (the list/channel).

As long as it is an announcement (and not an opinion), -dev-announce
should be a good place.

Thanks,
Donnie
