I don't think that it would be such a good idea. |
| 2 |
I can only speak for myself: As I love Gentoo, but don't have the time to test |
| 3 |
known unstable software I'm sure I would be the first user who never touches |
| 4 |
the unstable branch. I think Gentoo would get the same problems like GNU/Linux |
| 5 |
or Debian: Everyone waits for it getting officially stable and testing is has |
| 6 |
to be done by a few freaks. |
| 7 |
Whoever needs a stable Gentoo now only has to read the mailing-lists an knows |
| 8 |
about common problems. |
| 9 |
So you great developers: if you want to get you ports tested by many people |
| 10 |
don't tell the community (and me :-) that it isn't stable. |
