i dont think webpages are old because of the guidexml ... more because people 
simply forget to update them as most of our development happens beyond the 
website space

guidexml does have a small learning curve, but i'd much rather that than 
developers writing their own html because then nothing on our site would look 
cohesive ... as it is actually, i dislike our web sites that dont match the 
basic gentoo.org (*cough* overlays.g.o *cough*)
