The official release is an indication of the life of a distribution or |
| 19 |
package. Look at one of Keith Packard's reasons for leaving Xfree86 |

| 21 |

I know that I can still use the latest install CD, and do an update. |

However, the install CD is only one indication of Gentoo's problems. |

The out of date website, the newsletter releases, the sad responses to |
| 26 |
