Me, either! I don't know that "lunatic" is the best word, but it seems |
11 |
to me that an additional hierarchy [0] allows for a framework more |
12 |
flexible & extensible for end lusers. As I understand it builds with the |
13 |
arch keyword are tested and Gentoo-approved, those with the ~arch are |
14 |
those which Gentoo are actively or philosophically committed to seeing |
15 |
become approved; consequently those in the ^arch would become |
16 |
"contributed & unsupported", those for which no dev has the time or |
17 |
interest for. |

I think this is reserved for a Honda moped, a step-through with an |
22 |
undersized & water-cooled transverse v-twin engine, shaft drive & a |
23 |
cumbersome (if reliable) arrangement of cam-chain AND push-rods. The |
24 |
previous suggestion of ^arch [1] is MUCH better, IMO, and provides no |
25 |
obstacle to Honda migrating their systems to Gentoo Linux, should they |
26 |
wish. |

[0] Is that the right word? |

[1] Am I correctly appreviating "^86, ^PPC or whatever" here? I'm not |
34 |
doing too well tonight. |
