10 Yes, this has been discussed in a number of places before here. Try in
11 the forums.

17 You are confused about how gentoo works, it is not based on releases.
18 Just sync and you have all the latest stuff at your disponsal, to use
19 it as you wish. Profiles are nothing important in which regards having
20 an updated distro. They are useful for other purposes, though. For
21 example, different architectures and special functionalities like
22 SELinux. If you sync everyday you will see that there is a lot of
23 activity in portage, and the forums and lists are active as always,
24 bugzilla is alive, the community is alive, and, being this a
25 community project, I think that your claim is totally unfounded, and
26 plain wrong.
