Ha. This is like the "Is the Linux desktop dead" FUD I read a few |
| 14 |
months ago - IIRC it got deservedly derisive comments from the people |
| 15 |
on this list when I posted it here. FWIW, that was not written by the |
| 16 |
same author, but it could have been. News commentary sites are like |
| 17 |
the stock market - when something insignificant but bad happens the |
| 18 |
stock goes way down (= doom is predicted), when something |
| 19 |
insignificant but good happens the stock goes way up (= whatever |
| 20 |
they're writing about is the cure for cancer, &c.) It's the same |
| 21 |
prophets of doom who came out of the woodwork over the DuncTank affair |
| 22 |
in Debian that, in the main, are posting this rubbish. |

Gentoo will die sooner or later - everything does - but I for one am |
| 25 |
not going to bury it just because it has "stubbed its toe". |
