Dear Gentoo Developers,

Tell me that it is not true. Tell me that this is just an APRIL 1st JOKE!
I just have read in GWN that Gentoo will drop ebuilds and adopt RPM.
I'm crying since more than an hour now, realizing that the last usable,
professional-compatible Linux distribution is about to die. My only hope
is this whole idea being an April the 1st joke! Tell me that it is,
PLEASE!!!

Regards,
Szabolcs Rumi

It's not a joke. They have to. Microsoft doesn't want to buy Gentoo if 
it doesn't support RPM. It would be impossible for them to put backdoors 
if people compile from source.
