I've never stated any specific goals.  I've simply said we should have
some.  Please stop putting words in my mouth.

straw man argument. Maybe the best direction for gentoo is focusing on
embedded, maybe it's focusing on x86, maybe it's dropping Linux entirely
and moving over to OpenSolaris and building tools around that.  I never
stated any opinions in this area so why are you trying to state them for
me? 

It's pathetic that we, as a distribution, cannot have a civil discussion of
any kind.
