It is hardly chance. Things come together because we have policies |
14 |
that enable things to come together, and when these policies are found |
15 |
to be insufficient they are revised. |

In any case, my point is that things ARE coming together. |

That has always been true of Gentoo, and it is also true of every area |
24 |
of every distro out there, and even every department in every |
25 |
corporation out there. There is always a constraint between supply |
26 |
and demand. |

The key principle in FOSS is that the demand can turn into the supply, |
29 |
which is why it works. |
