Hey,

Some of these things are admirable goals, but I think that the first
thing Gentoo really needs to do is get to the point where people are
willing to use it in production with assurances of timely security fixes
etc.  Then it will begin to appeal to an even broader market (no one
said it couldn't still be up to date) and then perhaps some of these
things will become more necessary.

I notice that the Debian project has none of this kind of separate of
content.  And they have a huge community.  RedHat does because they have
a huge amount of content and also because they are talking to a less
savvy crowd.

Gentoo has neither a mammoth user base, nor a huge amount of content
(what they have is great and the users are great, of course!). I don't
see this as a huge need write now. Let the hackers hack.  The
documenters document. Let see where we are in a few months time.

Evan
