9 If we were to drop stable I would have to start maintaining my own
10 stable lists to determine what would be ready to into production for my
11 company. In production "works most of the time" and "good enough"
12 simply aren't good enough.

14 I estimate that would at least equal the amount of time I'm currently
15 spending on Gentoo work, and consequently my contributions to Gentoo
16 would dwindle to a halt. Most likely I would start looking at other
17 solutions altogether.

21 Except that some of that routine work is actually what I enjoy doing in
22 Gentoo. I already get plenty of the other two in my day job.
