Remember that everyone is a volunteer. |

Gentoo magically does a number of things which upstream never |
| 10 |
intended and do not intentionally support. It is amazing, and |
| 11 |
thank you so much to everyone who makes it possible! |

At the same time all the upstream crap is pretty tragic. |

I am absolutely in favor of exposing users to it, rather than the |
| 16 |
happy Gentoo garden full of magic patches :) and fast-path:ing bugs |
| 17 |
upstream when things do not work. In an ideal world, upstream would |
| 18 |
care. Of course many don't, and patches may still end up in Gentoo, |
| 19 |
but then at least users would know, and might get involved upstream, |
| 20 |
where they can actually help improve the package. Gentoo is the wrong |
| 21 |
place for that, so it doesn't make sense for them to get involved in |
| 22 |
Gentoo. |

I think unstable on (most) everything would be a great thing. |

Again: Thanks to everyone who contributes to Gentoo! :) |
