12 With all respect, you are clueless, but trying to be polite. If your
13 assessment was correct, then answer these questions, OK?

15 Why would the actual author of one of the hottest codes in the world,
16 wireguard, be that actual maintainer on gentoo?

19 Gentoo spawns CoreOS(smarty pants CTO) and long time gentooer. CoreOS
20 purchase by Redhat, to give them a future and IBM purchasing Redhat,
21 just to get legal rights to the gentoo heritage?

24 Greg X, is one of THE chief gentoo kernel devs, and still loves and uses
25 Gentoo.?

28 You are among GREATNESS in the computational world. I could list
29 hundreds of the world's top technologies in a wide variety of fields,
30 that have and still use Gentoo.
31 Like the worlds number one RF designer; but I wont.

34 You are fucking lazy. READ as the entire history and tree(s) are there.
35 BUT, first do a deep dive on C, although not currently popular, before
36 making such stupid statements. PLEASE.

39 Also, find me a linux distro rigorously supports (and engourages) both
40 systemd, OpenRC and systems without either? Can you name one.

43 Gentoo is for experts, and those that aspire, through many years of hard
44 work, to become C/unix/kernel/any-code type of experts.
45
46 YOU, making this statement, are just LAZY!

48 get real,
