When I read that, the first question that was raised on me was: - The best product for what, whom? We can't simply put all possible Gentoo applications and users in one bag. Is it really good to think on Gentoo as a product? Can we do like Apple and treat our users like crap while still making them use our product? *No!* Unless we provide locking, GNU/Linux users will always have a choice. That choice can be to join the Gentoo community, or leave it. - Angelo
