That's the same. The people he is talking about won't unmask it. |

Exactly _but_ I'd really like to have a "stable" gentoo that you can use in a |
| 9 |
production environment without the need to test every lil thing yourself. |
| 10 |
That's why managers normally want something like RH so they can have others |
| 11 |
test everything and blame them if something goes wrong. |

Also there needs to be some quality control even for power users. I am no |
| 14 |
newbie and have submitted some ebuilds but some things I just wanna merge and |
| 15 |
know they work. I made my own custom ebuild for apache but I surely would not |
| 16 |
do anything about say openoffice ... just build it (or in that case better |
| 17 |
merge openoffice-bin :)) and have it work. |
