13 As well sounding and well written the proposals for change were, I do not feel
14 Gentoo should necessaraly go the way of Debian to extinctcion. Debian is too
15 mired in bureaucracy and way to slow to respond to change. What I like about
16 Gentoo is it's responsiveness to change. I can go to bugzilla and request a
17 version bump on favorite app or request a new app and usually within two days
18 it is included in the distro. I have never seen that with Debian. Debian as
19 good as it is, is just to slow out of date and unresponsive, because of the
20 excessive bureaucracy most have a I have come in contact with have a
21 snobbish, I can not be bothered air about them. Not the most firendly and
22 open groups. I have never had that type of air putting on happen to me on a
23 Gentoo list, most have gone out of there way to help me, and in the processe
24 I have gained valuable knowledge. I am happy with the way Gentoo is run and
25 the direction it is going. I feel change is needed only when necessary to
26 maintain the distrto's performance. Not change for change sake only. And no
27 unnecessary bureaucracy. This is my $.02 worth on the subject.
