16 If you really want to find out what it does? Yes. You can't expect us to
17 hand hold every user out there. Gentoo isn't meant to be that way. Its a
18 meta distribution, so you get to choose what you want to do. Just please
19 don't force the developer community to bend to your needs. If you don't
20 like that? Then fine, just accept that and please move on.
