Yes and it was others that said lack of stable would effect enterprise/professional usage. I simply said that argument was moot as there are other objections beyond not having stable. Most I know would say Gentoo as a whole is not stable, regardless of any stable packages, branch, etc. They do not consider Gentoo stable. FYI, I have always run Gentoo for professional usage. I have a business. My business has always run Gentoo on all servers, desktops, workstations etc. Those locally who have worked for me and in my LUG know this fact. I have also interviewed with many companies in the US who either did run Gentoo or still do. Thus I have some directly knowledge on that shrinking market. Beyond my opinion, gentoo -debian - suse -redhat https://www.indeed.com/jobs?q=gentoo+-debian+-suse+-redhat&l= Very few if any are after Gentoo skills. Change that to any other distro and see the difference. Of course Gentoo is always mentioned with others, but are they running Gentoo is the question. Seeking Gentoo skills and companies running Gentoo are not the same. gentoo https://www.indeed.com/jobs?q=gentoo+&l= It is always lumped in with others, rarely by itself. -- William L. Thomson Jr.
