I am 100% against the decision to close gentoo-dev to the general
public. I feel that this is one of the worst things the council has done
recently.

Gentoo is probably the most customizable Linux distro out there. I tend
to see it as a power user distro. You can accept the default settings we
provide if you want, but its real strength is the ability to customize.
If you want a distro that you can customize very heavily, Gentoo is the
one for you.
