With all due respect, Gentoo is not renowned for spoon-feeding ... |
| 14 |
|

Returning to the topic in hand, two key points strike out at me:- |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
1) Gentoo isn't really interested in having a 'stable' tree or it would |
| 18 |
already be happening. As such, why not cut the Gordian knot, declare |
| 19 |
that this is not something that will happen [soon] and let users make |
| 20 |
their own choices. The [majority of] developers already seem to have ... |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
2) Whilst there has yet another fine bike-shed emerged on the subject, I |
| 23 |
have only seen one volunteer willing or capable to actually take on |
| 24 |
implementation of anything that has been discussed on this thread. As |
| 25 |
such, you can talk all you like .. nothing will happen until somebody |
| 26 |
actually *does* something .. For all the hating, I will duly credit |
| 27 |
mgorny for producing a consistent quantity of commits across the board |
| 28 |
in Gentoo, and whilst you may not agree with all his bitching (for want |
| 29 |
of a better term) at least he can stand and say "well at least I did |
| 30 |
*something* about it, whether You like it or not ...". |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
Damnit, there's another $2 from me .. my apologies. |
