I have a different solution that should, no doubt, satisfy both sides: |

|
| 18 |
We fork Gentoo. Create a new distro, called GenOne. This distro will |
| 19 |
include only older wares such as GTK1, Kernel 2.4, libc5, XFree86, devfs, |
| 20 |
a.out binaries, DES passwords, etc. It will be just as good as Gentoo, but catered to |
| 21 |
old-timers and and those who prefer to reminisce about the good ol' days. |
