Gentoo will cease to be relevant if we continue as-is. Maybe not tomorrow or next month, but within a couple of years, we'll be Just Another Slackware. Personally, I don't want that. If other folks do, then that's OK. > I welcome you to fork Gentoo to do this.

I think it has some great ideas and a great core technology. I'd hate to see for all that to be relegated to some hobbyist distro that people tinker around on but nobody takes seriously. Maybe you have a different vision for Gentoo. If so, I respect that, but please don't accuse me of trying to hijack anything. I expressed an opinion and you took my words and twisted them against me. This is a perfect example of why Gentoo's never going to go anywhere. We fight too much amongst ourselves. --kurt
