That's what GLEP 39 explictly allows. |

If you want a user-centric distro which is run by business managers, that |
| 22 |
niche is already occupied. If Gentoo tried to achieve a linear user |
| 23 |
experience, putting uniformity over diversity, then we'd just become a poor |
| 24 |
copy of Ubuntu. Would it increase our user base? Probably. Would it still be |
| 25 |
Gentoo? I'm not sure. |
