1 Well Frank, First and foremost, Gentoo is quite far ahead of the
2 other distros. I choose Gentoo on my server farm specifically because
3 it is much higher ahead in the stable department so much more than
4 Ubuntu and RHEL which ironically are the leaders in server OS
5 deployment. All too often I run into data centers that specifically
6 run Ubuntu or RHEL and when I look at the version #'s on those
7 machines and compare them to my gentoo servers, they pale in
8 comparison.

10 Frank, I think you are jumping the gun on this issue. I'm not going
11 to flame you, but if you really want to participate in gentoo-dev, I
12 will totally not mind you joining the effort to get the newer packages
13 put out. I tell you what, do what a lot of people are doing and that
14 is making your own ebuilds. Make a website, put your ebuilds on it
15 and test it out. You will further gentoo-dev out much better than it
16 is now.
