Reference: \agoref{gentoo-dev}{dee3aab5e8c840ed3fa4add9c7d74b97} and 
replies

The council opted for calling die 
instead of using the invalid DEPEND and required
a patch to devmanual and PMS (ferring will do the devmanual patch)

Should we post council agenda to -council? -dev? -project?

Some devs suggest we should cross-post to -dev and -council
but not everyone likes cross-posting as it can lead to fragmentation.
Petteri suggested punting -council and using -project instead

$\longrightarrow$ there was a vote on punting -council 
that ended in a 2-2 tie (ferringb had left)
jmbsvicetto and wired voted against, betelgeuse and scarabeus voted in favor


$\longrightarrow$ discussion will be continued in the 
mailing lists
