Oddly enough I liked IPCop for SOHO. |

This pretty much holds true about the devs that are motivated in gentoo |
| 26 |
to work on embedded related things. Infact the 'embedded team' is a very |
| 27 |
loose nit subset of the overall gentoo dev base. They come and go and |
| 28 |
work on what suits them. A few of us stick around for %s reasons. |

But anyway when we are talking about patching base system packages for |
| 31 |
an unknown timeframe, it's better to have it all upstream from the |
| 32 |
Gentoo POV. Overlays as mentioned in these threads otherwise. |
