All,If I might weigh in at this late stage:How did we end up here in the first place? Isn't the point of ~arch that we can put stuff here that might WELL be unstable? Sure, we'll get lots of "I set my ACCEPT_KEYWORDS to ~arch and now my system is broken," messages, but if people are going to try ~a

I think the problem is that Gentoo is falling into the same sandtrap the
Debian project has been mired in forever. "arch" and "~arch" are polarizinginto "stable, but horribly out of date", and "maybe it will work".This leads to people trying to maintain a

It seams that USE flags are not realy tested or howcan it happen that there are already know bugs in thestable distro ?Just like to make the point that if something requires a dependency in ~arch (unstable), then it isn't/shouldn't be in arch (stable).
HiI'd like to ask how many Gentoo devs get paid for contributions to Gentoo? How many of you (paid or non-paid) think MS's threat to sue over patents is a real danger?Thanks in advanceJeff
