He isn't the first to make that observation. Many have pointed out |
| 9 |
that the testing branch today seems a lot like stable Gentoo used to |
| 10 |
be, and that we err too much on the side of not making big changes. |

However, I'm not sure that we really are afraid of breaking things so |
| 13 |
much that many of us have just grown comfortable with the way things |
| 14 |
have been done. |

I suspect that eventually we'll get to a point where the stage3s don't |
| 17 |
contain init, just as they don't contain a kernel. Besides, who wants |
| 18 |
all those files clogging up their drives when all they want is a |
| 19 |
chroot? :) |

Whatever, I could really care less what Lennart thinks of Gentoo, or |
| 22 |
how you feel about Lennart. It isn't like another systemd flamewar is |
| 23 |
going to change anything. |
