If the design was in any way user-centric, then that was a side-effect |
| 7 |
of the design being developer-centric. The choices are all about |
| 8 |
enabling development and developers. The Gentoo philosophy is about |
| 9 |
empowerment -- we provide a platform for you to do what you want with |
| 10 |
it. That's our only promise, all the rest is just gravy. Rel. Eng. and |
| 11 |
others do what they do because, at its root, that's what they *want* to |
| 12 |
do -- that's how they exercise their own empowerment. Feel free to join |
| 13 |
in the fray and exercise your own :) |
