Hi, |
| 4 |
Continue with *top-posting* as it is. |

Does Gentoo gives more choises to users or not? |
| 6 |
With the freedom/choise comes the responsibility (if anything breaks). |
| 7 |
Gentoo is known not to be for *everybody* (unless he/she is willing to |
| 8 |
learn & quite stubborn to use it). |
| 9 |
These ebuilds *are* already in Bugzilla, and for some there're people |
| 10 |
interested in maintaining/improving them. |
| 11 |
IMHO this is better then an ebuild/s which seats for 2-3 years and is of |
| 12 |
*outstanding quality*. The world is in motion not static. |
| 13 |
The overall concern (for me) with 'sunrise' & similar is the |
| 14 |
availability (in advance) of some *good/understandable* information |
| 15 |
about some consequences in using such project/s. |
| 16 |
Just a warning no more. All this on main docs page (to be visible). |
| 17 |
E.g. some of the current *semi/official* overlays mess with the versions |
| 18 |
in the *main tree* so i have to mask/unmask things to do what i want (i |
| 19 |
accept this). |
| 20 |
Just my point of view, no more. |
