This idea (the one that Gentoo is, or should be, about "choice") is one |
| 26 |
which not all users (like myself), nor developers (like, apparently, |
| 27 |
dberkholz) agree on. |

In particular, and for what it matters, I've always said that Gentoo (and |
| 30 |
Linux) is about choice, as long as there is someone willing and able to |
| 31 |
provide the choice. |
