Yes and it was others that said lack of stable would effect |
| 8 |
enterprise/professional usage. I simply said that argument was moot as |
| 9 |
there are other objections beyond not having stable. |

Most I know would say Gentoo as a whole is not stable, regardless of |
| 12 |
any stable packages, branch, etc. They do not consider Gentoo stable. |

FYI, I have always run Gentoo for professional usage. I have a |
| 15 |
business. My business has always run Gentoo on all servers, desktops, |
| 16 |
workstations etc. Those locally who have worked for me and in my LUG |
| 17 |
know this fact. I have also interviewed with many companies in the US |
| 18 |
who either did run Gentoo or still do. Thus I have some directly |
| 19 |
knowledge on that shrinking market. |

Very few if any are after Gentoo skills. Change that to any other |
| 25 |
distro and see the difference. Of course Gentoo is always mentioned |
| 26 |
with others, but are they running Gentoo is the question. Seeking |
| 27 |
Gentoo skills and companies running Gentoo are not the same. |

It is always lumped in with others, rarely by itself. |
