I think you are getting it the other way around. |

It's not 'we do not need to support C++ properly because there are no |
| 20 |
C++ packages crucial to Gentoo'. It's rather 'we have no crucial C++ |
| 21 |
packages because C++ support in Gentoo is broken by design'. It is |
| 22 |
a limitation, not a reason to keep stuff buggy. |

Think of paludis as a good example. People who'd like to use Paludis |
| 25 |
will end up with broken package manager from time to time. How are they |
| 26 |
supposed to rebuild it without a working package manager? |
