Hi Donnie, |
| 8 |
|

I agree that your three main points are very good use cases for Gentoo, I'm |
| 10 |
just not sure yet how they exactly lead to more focussing. |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
I'd like to add another category, which definitely attracts people to Gentoo |
| 13 |
(as long as the relevant parts of Gentoo are well-maintained): |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
"People who want to run bleeding edge code" |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
^ As an example, this was for a long time and likely still is the attraction |
| 18 |
of the Gentoo KDE ebuilds (live, live stable branch, and alpha, beta, release |
| 19 |
candidates, releases all as zero day bumps). The KDE team has historically |
| 20 |
attracted a lot of developers to Gentoo, who now contribute in all sorts of |
| 21 |
different projects. |

[Now if we could only get Qt 5 unmasked...] |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
Cheers, |
| 26 |
