And doing things different just because "we can" is even more dumb, |
20 |
because it precludes our ability to offer users consistent environment |
21 |
and makes us subject to the decisions made by random Gentoo developers |
22 |
long time ago. Of course, as a distro we're subject to single developer |
23 |
decisions often, but what's the point of being a distro if you are |
24 |
bound to bad decisions made in the past by a single person? |

Not saying that I care but just pointing out how dumb this |
27 |
argumentation is. |
