Time to put that myth to bed. |

If such a day cometh, it will not be because Gentoo decided to do so. |
| 12 |
It will be because the current software available offers little choice; |
| 13 |
and simply does it that way and only that way. |

Gentoo devs have always stuck close to upstream as mucg as possible - |
| 16 |
this is not RedHat with large amounts of paid dev talent to mod, tweak |
| 17 |
and patch software to do what RH wants it to do. |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
So lets please stop blaming Gentoo for the route taken by udev and init |
| 20 |
system programmers, OK? |
