Everything in the Gentoo project is per definition strictly |
| 9 |
developer-only. I suppose that it's a function of having the |
| 10 |
project centered around a foundation. |

I understand that it is very easy to get tunnel vision once one |
| 13 |
is "in", but please do remember that Gentoo is quite explicitly |
| 14 |
exclusionist. |

In some ways I think this is a really good thing. In other ways it's |
| 17 |
mind-numbingly restrictive. I do not pretend to have a solution to |
| 18 |
the problem that would make everyone happy. I don't think that such |
| 19 |
a solution can be found actually :) because different people require |
| 20 |
diametrically opposed things in order to be happy. |

Anyway, don't forget how the project works. Users can make themselves |
| 23 |
heard on mailing lists and in (most) IRC channels, but that is it. |

We are absolutely second-class citizens in the Gentoo community and |
| 26 |
transcending that class divide is anything but quick and easy. |
