Is Gentoo really a loose association of individualists who care about nothing |
| 2 |
but their own stuff, and give a $(/%& about users or the distribution as a |
| 3 |
whole? |

Because that's the impression I recently get on the mailing list, and I'm not |
| 6 |
really sure if it's worthwhile putting any more effort into it then. |

Maybe we should just discontinue any "Gentoo" branding, focus on the meta- |
| 10 |
distribution side, and tell users "Yes there are a lot of excellent |
| 11 |
derivatives of our work, where things actually work together. You should |
| 12 |
install Sabayon, Funtoo, Exherbo, Pentoo, or whatever scratches your itch. |
| 13 |
They are based on (not "our work" but) the excellent work of our developers. |
| 14 |
Gentoo? Nah. That's just the raw package base. Don't use it directly." |
