I've never stated any specific goals. I've simply said we should have |

some. Please stop putting words in my mouth. |

straw man argument. Maybe the best direction for gentoo is focusing on |
| 18 |
embedded, maybe it's focusing on x86, maybe it's dropping Linux entirely |
| 19 |
and moving over to OpenSolaris and building tools around that. I never |
| 20 |
stated any opinions in this area so why are you trying to state them for |
| 21 |
me? |

It's pathetic that we, as a distribution, cannot have a civil discussion of |
| 24 |
any kind. |
