I've pretty much kept quiet about this, but I'd like to take this moment |
| 16 |
to remind people, that Gentoo, is not just x86, the kernel team is not |
| 17 |
just people who build x86 kernels, and Gentoo tools to build kernels, |
| 18 |
should be required to run on all arches before Gentoo decides to make |
| 19 |
them a standard method during install for users. |
