This slightly more hardware support is almost always what new boxen need. Of course people can |
10 |
install Gentoo from another more up to date other distro, but wouldn't it be better if that were |
11 |
optional and not mandatory? That if people have new hardware which is not supported by their own |
12 |
distro, that they can pop in the latest gentoo cd and know that if there is any distro whose |
13 |
install cd supports their hardware, that gentoo will too? |

There would also be many more chances to fix things, since these images would be relatiely short |
16 |
lived. Since each image would be more similar than the previous one than our current 6 months apart |
17 |
releases are to eachother, testing could be spread out more. And our users would get more chances |
18 |
to help us test. Releng might not have to take a snapshot and try to stable it a la debian. Instead |
19 |
all developers could work together to fix bugs in stable found by users testing the install cd. |
