When I read that, the first question that was raised on me was: |
| 12 |
- The best product for what, whom? |
| 13 |
We can't simply put all possible Gentoo applications and users in one bag. |

Is it really good to think on Gentoo as a product? Can we do like Apple |
| 16 |
and treat our users like crap while still making them use our product? |
| 17 |
*No!* |
| 18 |
Unless we provide locking, GNU/Linux users will always have a choice. |

That choice can be to join the Gentoo community, or leave it. |
