Aside from username and passwords, is Gentoo not so transparent that we |
16 |
can't do a master dump of our collective work and allow it to be |
17 |
mirrored in some fashion by people willing to do so? |

Perhaps an official Gentoo project snapshot isn't such bad idea, chalk |
20 |
full of data integrity checks that people can download, digest, dissect |
21 |
if they really want to. |

Mirror/snapshot/dump and letting others mirror it is ultimately the best |
24 |
intellectual property insurance when the primary objective is redundancy |
25 |
and speed of recovery. Rebuilding infrastructure is the hard part, I'm |
26 |
still waiting to see who ultimately has control of the gentoo.org domain. :P |
