10 If you mean "Gentoo for Mac OS X", then no. "Gentoo Prefix on Mac OS X"
11 is a different approach than the former. And, Gentoo Prefix is not "all
12 about Mac OS X". Just to make this clear.

18 To take your example of Mac OS X specific options, they are IMO part of
19 the job of the Prefix/OSX "arch team". However, yes, we would like to
20 ask you to "care" about other OSes. We don't expect you to solve the
21 issues, but a bug or IRC ping would be nice.
