While this had its merits and made Gentoo in what it is today i see more and more that this isn't sufficient anymore (i come from a time when it was possible). This is what the proposed top-level structure intends to tackle. There is not much to say. I can tell you there's nothing special in area 51, but if you want to believe it won't change your mind. - foser PS. bad example, of course they're hiding UFOs and aliens and whatnot in area 51. PS II. http://www.se.gnome.org/conspiracy/ PS III. This mail goes as far as Gentoo Linux development, business ventures etc. have a certain secrecy over them which i don't find particular appropriate either. But to a certain degree that is not directly related to the distro as a whole. -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
