Both those things are "things employed by users for their systems". |

Neither of those things are integral to any workflow, and are entirely |
10 |
optional. |

But when you file a bug, you rely on bugzilla being maintained by |
13 |
Gentoo Infra, not some 3rd party. |
14 |
|
15 |
And when you file a keyword/stable request, you rely on a |
16 |
bugzilla-integrated functionality through nattka to check and verify |
17 |
keywords. |
18 |
|
19 |
Subsequently, whether or not you opted into this, nattka is now |
20 |
critical to the workflow of everyone doing keywording/stable requests. |

You can't really say that about pkgcore or openrc. |
23 |
|
24 |
But you can say that about the QA Automated Testing service, which |
25 |
mangles gentoo.git and creates sync/gentoo.git, and reports when people |
26 |
broke the tree. |
27 |
|
28 |
And that *uses* pkgcore. |
29 |
|

But I'm pretty sure that infrastructure lives on gentoo "somewhere", |
31 |
and if it doesn't, it should. |
