gentoo started out as x86 only. |
| 2 |
we've been lucky to aquire people who have experience |
| 3 |
with other platforms, but the problem is that, like Grant |
| 4 |
said, its CVS, and CVS just sucks when it comes to this |

kind of thing. basically the hassle of doing so is not worth |
| 6 |
it. plus, who knows what all else has come to rely on that |
| 7 |
path. just accept it :) |
