As a team, we could have a simple default program for a simple default

needed, built on the hardened project? (like a bridge or a firewall)?
Sounds great. What's stopping you?
Heaven forbid that we put up a few dozen (unsupported) jentoo VMs,
container-images or stage-4 (specifically purposed) choices where
folks could only get support from jentoo-user. No sir, we cannot make jentoo
fun and enjoyable and quick (and sleazy) can we?

And yes allow java, the way it is available on most other distros...
The current process of requiring all the java codes to be broken down into
100% discernable codes is a tremendous barrier. After all, most of the codes
that use that stuff, are full of holes anyway; that's the very nature of
open, fast, exciting new codes. They only become secure
after years of vetting (fuzzing) anyway. So make the host gentoo image very
secure and allow jentoo projects to be a VM, or container or such
construct, without all the hassles of gentoo proper. Let the purist ensure
that gentoo is secure and isolated and let the multitude play with java,
however they like (in a VM, or a container image or a stage-4).
Sounds great. What's stopping you?
Why Rich, thanks for the triple compliments; is that a vote that the
basic idea(s) have merit, or sarcasm?
We are all part of a village, so feedback is warmly received, regardless
of the nature of the prose....
As you probably know, I have been working on many of these issues, for a
variety of reason.
