As someone responsible for dozens of production Gentoo boxes, I would |
| 2 |
personally love to see more stable options, not perhaps the Debian |
| 3 |
extreme, but something better suited to a production server environment. |

I appreciate devs who take to the time to make sure an upgrade isn't |
| 5 |
going to break someone's infrastructure. I have personally had some |
| 6 |
issues with minor security upgrade ebuilds breaking my systems of late. |

With something like MySQL it is better to be late than early. |
