The possibility of having an official Gentoo port are pretty much |
| 9 |
non-existent so long as there is a question of the legality of such a |
| 10 |
port. We cannot allow ourselves to be liable in breaking laws. |

That doesn't even touch on the fact that the Xbox is not a port, at |
| 13 |
all. It is only a specific hardware subset of x86. While it does have |
| 14 |
some specific requirements for packages, the work is nothing like |
| 15 |
actually getting Gentoo to work on a new architecture. |
