10 Why make a special case for embedded?
11 Maybe you haven't noticed, but baselayout is a virtual - which does make
12 things harder as the main "forks" (vserver and fbsd) sometimes break when we
13 add new things and they haven't synced up yet.
14
15 But that's OK as they're supported I guess.

17 Or are you saying that spb, other devs and people outside of Gentoo who has
18 submitted SoC applications about Paludis (or what that qaludis?) are just
19 going to wack it into the tree and then say "we're not going to support it"?
20
21 Of course not!
22
23 If az, vapier and myself upped and left Gentoo, would you rip out baselayout
24 in favour of something else as there's no-one to support it?
