10 It is either a part of the *official* gentoo documentation, or it isn't.

12 My understanding is that it is. Is that incorrect?

14 In other words, it is not $random_guide found on the internet somewhere,
15 nor is it some gentoo dev's private wiki, it is formal, official gentoo
16 documentation - and that *is* a fact.
