That's not what he said. |

|
| 27 |
He said gentoo doesn't, and can't support it, because it's a world of |
| 28 |
pain to provide proper support to everyone who wants it. If you want it, |
| 29 |
as you do, you get to do it yourself. While it still works, grat. When |
| 30 |
it stops working, you fix it. |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
He did not say, as you imply, that it cannot work right now. |
