Correct me if I'm wrong but Gentoo Linux is a community based |
| 10 |
distribution, meaning all developers has a say in this matter. |

Also, the "rm -rf /" example misses the point. The point is that if we |
| 13 |
have lots of beta-stuff in Portage (available to the users) we'll end up |
| 14 |
spending loads of hours supporting it (no matter how many signs of |
| 15 |
"Unsupported" we write). |
