11 This is the Gentoo Way™. Having a working software is not a goal.
12 Gentoo focuses on the best bleeding edge experience and therefore
13 highly relies on software packages that are under active development
14 and require active maintenance. The packages in early stages of
15 development are especially interesting since they can supply users
16 and developers with variety of interesting bugs and unpredictable
17 issues.
