As long as you know what you're doing and don't send devs on wild goose chases nobody minds. In fact, if you're doing something really exotic with Gentoo (not sure if this qualifies) pr@g.o or David Abbot might be interested. If the devs didn't like getting their hands dirty they'd probably be running Ubuntu... :) Rich
