there is no installer anymore. And that is a good thing.
I will agree that an installer doesn't belong near the top of anyones "show stopper" list of Gentoo defects. Gentoo doesn't *need* an installer and all previous attempts at one have been less than successful. We can all certainly get along fine without one.
But can you really provide a non-condescending, *rational* argument explaining why it would be an actively detrimental idea to have a working installer for Gentoo? Why, if some person appeared tomorrow with a fully functional, debugged, tested, flexible, easy to use, fully-handbook-compliant, *optional* drop-in installation process, why that would be a bad thing?
