And for that we are very thankful,

I'm not necessarily saying that you'll be a bad maintainer,

I'm saying that I totally disagree with your first action.

And I think you need to understand a bit better what the role of a maintainer is.

That's what I'm doing but on my own local copy, I'll see what I decide next.

But that's the thing, as the official TF101 maintainer you're now the official "voice" for the TF101 users.

As I mentionned, I declined Randall's offer to be the official TF101 maintainer months ago, because that takes a lot of time.

It's not the compiling or fixing that takes necessarily the most time, it's listening to the users and staying dedicated to the task as a long term.

So currently I'm just one of the many users and who can simply submit to TeamEOS gerrit.

As a user I don't really feel I have the right to revert the choice made by the official maintainer for such massive changes.

All I can do is just voice my opinion and disagreement, and make suggestions.

You are supposed to be the one knowing what to do (meaning what to do

for the majority of the users

)

What I'm saying basically, is :

Are you sure that the majority of TeamEOS users are ok with the new choice of overriding everything with your own tree, replacing the existing kernel by yours and so on ?

I know that it is one of the reason that I was on TeamEOS: because they had different stuff in there.

For example, the weak wifi issue of your rom was not here, and other things are different for a reason.

Now I'm not saying that your tree is bad, it works mostly ok on your other roms.

But it's definitely an entire different tree with its good sides and downsides as we can see on your other roms.

What I would personally like is that the current TeamEOS users opinion is seeked by the official TF101 maintainer before doing such massive changes, because that might basically change many things the users liked about TeamEOS

But if the majority prefers that you switch it all then fine by me, I'm just one voice from all the users to count into :)

Not sure if a poll could be started here to seek user's opinion on that particular aspect maybe ?

Also explain why you feel it's needed, what would be the benefits, what would be the changes and so on.

I hope you have balanced the good and the bad before doing that, and also tried previous TeamEOS builds to understand the good sides of it too.

As a general rule, it'd also be good maybe if you can explain that kind of new strategy and massive changes before doing it in the future too.

Suggestion of a better approach:

Basically TeamEOS has already done most of the work for 4.2.1,

For your own 4.2 rom, I guess that to make it work you have mostly updated a few things in your TF101 tree ?

So why not generating a diff for the few targeted changes and paths modifications that you made for your rom,

and simply changing that *specifically* into the existing TF101 TeamEOS tree ?

There are not that many changes afaik.

You see that's another thing, I'm just voicing my own opinion previously.

I'm *one* user.

You are now the official TF101 maintainer, you should listen to the majority of the current TeamEOS users.

It's not because *I* want to, that you have to change completely to the opposite direction and drop out of it.

It's really something you need to understand as an official maintainer I hope too.

I think it's one of the main role of the maintainer too: you need to do what you do for the users, and so listen to the users, not just listen to one user, or just listen to your own likings.

And that takes a lot of time, and exactly why I preferred not to jump into the maintainer's shoes. ;)
