I'm not sure how many people noticed - certainly nobody made a big |
| 12 |
complaint about it. Now that you bring it up I agree that this should |
| 13 |
be corrected, though at least in this case it is a bit of a moot point |
| 14 |
as those packages are largely obsolete now. |

An area that always bothered me was stage3 building, but I think our |
| 17 |
catalyst docs have improved. I don't know if following the wiki guide |
| 18 |
leads to a stage3 identical to our published one or not, but if not |
| 19 |
that would be an example of a similar situation that should be fixed. |

I don't think anybody is proposing that we SOLELY depend on github. |
| 28 |
We can always keep an eye on it lest that become the case. I'd much |
| 29 |
rather see something hosted on Gentoo infra using FOSS take this role. |
