I actually do support it. That is mostly there to let people know that I do play around in there and have been known to break things in the past. It is where I do all of the profile work before a release, so I might play with ideas that do things that a user might not want. Basically, I don't follow the same "be very careful before adding stuff" mantra in there as I would on default-linux/x86. That being said, I don't put anything there that I don't have *somebody* out there testing, so it's known to work on at least a few systems. --=20 Chris Gianelloni Release Engineering - Strategic Lead x86 Architecture Team Games - Developer Gentoo Linux --=-nvRDZnY5wEOhs2Pkx6+y Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.3 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQBEaj1wkT4lNIS36YERAjhLAKCDMl3wbxLWOSwsHDc+WZAuBOxzJwCfZqZl KqIWvNKRAzdWJBbfL4YDnck= =bnWE -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-nvRDZnY5wEOhs2Pkx6+y-- -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
