Noone said it's easy.

Please don't put words in my mouth.

Several said it needs to just-be-done, without further consensus.
I support that. Everyone also agrees that there will be issues, but
I think the idea is that switching sooner rather than later and
fixing up the bits that break is fine. Even if it takes a while.

It shouldn't. There may be others on the list besides Gentoo infra
who know a thing or two about infrastructure, operations, CVS, Git,
and so on.

I have no idea about that issue, but it seems quite distinct.

That's bullshit (and the saying is backwards). I could help out, I
know a couple of infra guys, but I can't even get recruited because
quizzes need too much contiguous time out of my schedule..

I don't know about respectful, but oh well..


Another idea I have, besides the go-ahead+fix what breaks, is that
after everything has broken, Gentoo developers will not be spamming
this mailing list like three-year-olds screaming rude complaints
about how things do not work and calling infra bad names, but that
they will actually *help out* with whatever needs fixing.

Gentoo has a whole bunch of very competent developers in many
different areas, including yourself of course!, and I'm pretty sure
that there is no better way to get everything fixed *fast* than to
simply go-ahead. Some (of course not all, and that's fine too) devs
would surely get involved to help out with whatever issues need to
be solved.

I think they are the ones who should fork. :)
