All the pieces do come together. What pieces on Gentoo do you see not |
| 24 |
working together? |

Your conclusion doesn't follow. The fact that Java on Gentoo doesn't |
| 31 |
work doesn't mean that Gentoo doesn't work. If people cared that much |
| 32 |
about Java working on Gentoo, then it would work. |

Care isn't measured in mailing list posts, it is measured in pull |
| 35 |
requests and such. |
