Gentoo is about the community, not about the product, and things have |
| 7 |
been this way for quite a while now. Most of the Gentoo community don't |
| 8 |
use Gentoo the distribution, just Gentoo the social medium, and any |
| 9 |
threat to this must be eliminated. That's why Gentoo likes forums, |
| 10 |
wikis, and long lists of emerge options, rather than high quality |
| 11 |
documentation and good defaults: the more confusion and misinformation |
| 12 |
there is out there, the more forum posts it takes to resolve a problem, |
| 13 |
and the better the community is as a result. |
