| Many devs run gentoo at their workplace and/or is important to their |
| 24 |
| business plan and model. This matter will be resolved, rest assured. |
| 25 |
| Migration isn't in your near future, unless you fall in love with |
| 26 |
| another distro :) |

Hah... |

Stop and think about that decision for a second. Reworking 2,5 years of |
| 31 |
manhours of a whole team in running, scripting, configuring and dealing |
| 32 |
with gentoo as the main distribution into another linux distro is not a |
| 33 |
decision I'll make over a flame war with regard to the legal status of |
| 34 |
the gentoo foundation and the leadership of the community. |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
The outcome of this discussion interests me and may have impact on |
| 37 |
futuure technology decisions is a loooooooooong way off from changing |
| 38 |
distros. |
| 39 |
|
| 40 |
Apart from that I fell in love with gentoo a long time ago and that love |
| 41 |
hasn't withered, flamewars or no flamewars. |
| 42 |
|
| 43 |
I think one of the reasons that we are able to administer this cluster |
| 44 |
of 1300 servers with 6 full-timers is credit to the flexibilty of the |
| 45 |
Gentoo. |
| 46 |
|
| 47 |
I would like to see the flamewars reduced and an easier way of joining |
| 48 |
or becoming a developer or at least contributing work apart from bugzie. |
