Exactly. So we agree; that is the reason the original post on the idea |
| 23 |
to move everything external to gentoo core, is a very bad one. Java |
| 24 |
exists and prospers on Gentoo, mostly in overlays. Formalizing that |
| 25 |
(original) proposal will only serve to further enshrine the fact that |
| 26 |
java on gentoo, get's little love and no java-centric developer will |
| 27 |
every get close to the "core" or gentoo. |

I'm using java as an example; the science herd and the clustering herd |
| 31 |
(projects if you like) are in the same boat. I do appreciate your candid |
| 32 |
and clear responses. |
