If the design was in any way user-centric, then that was a side-effect
of the design being developer-centric.  The choices are all about
enabling development and developers. The Gentoo philosophy is about
empowerment -- we provide a platform for you to do what you want with
it.  That's our only promise, all the rest is just gravy.  Rel. Eng. and
others do what they do because, at its root, that's what they *want* to
do -- that's how they exercise their own empowerment.  Feel free to join
in the fray and exercise your own :)

Thanks,
