It's very surprising to me that CE wouldn't work for our purposes. |
| 39 |
Debian, GNOME, KDE, XFCE, and FreeDesktop have all switched to GitLab |
| 40 |
and are using CE. It's hard to believe that Gentoo's usage or |
| 41 |
requirements would be so different as to make GitLab a non-viable |
| 42 |
option. |

What features of EE do you think we need? |
