On that note, I guess one way of doing this is to advertise Gentoo |
| 10 |
Prefix better and integrate it better. Get the QA warnings in, make all |
| 11 |
developers aware of the common pitfalls, and generally move toward |
| 12 |
supporting Gentoo on any platform out there that can reasonably |
| 13 |
accommodate it. |

Why on Earth would anyone need to install a new platform to start |
| 16 |
developing (on) another platform? Almost ten years ago, Gentoo on |
| 17 |
Windows was a joke[1]. A few years later it suddenly wasn't. |
