How about anything? More than nothing. |

Gentoo's foundation is great. I can't think of any major changes that |
| 25 |
should to happen to it. But Gentoo is at this point *only* a |
| 26 |
foundation. It needs more (removable) layers. FreeBSD created extra |
| 27 |
layers on its own foundation and called the result PC-BSD which is |
| 28 |
aimed at the make-it-easy crowd. PC-BSD is gaining momentum quickly |
| 29 |
and that will benefit FreeBSD greatly. I repeat, that will benefit |
| 30 |
FreeBSD greatly. That's exactly the kind of thing Gentoo should be |
| 31 |
doing. Removable layers for ease of use, removable layers for server |
| 32 |
deployment, removable layers for anything and everything. That's |
| 33 |
moving forward. |
