Ok,
Gentoo is over.  As an outsider who has been following gentoo-dev and other
gentoo lists for a while, this is just completely nuts.
Is there any order or clear idea anymore for this distro?  No other distro
seems to be as lost or confused as Gentoo is.  And WTF is this list going to
discuss development?  Do you guys develop ANYTHING?  Or Do you just bitch
all day?   Good bye Gentoo, when you grow up and know what your goals are
etc I'll be back.  Love the distro, but Jesus the politics and the bitching
gets out.

Just an observation from the outside.

Don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out. Throwing fresh
logs on the fire doesn't help (and neither did this email, but I had
to say it).

Are you following also mail lists of other distros?

Yep there's still development going on, devs commit ebuilds and stuff.
Also, as said many times, number of devs participating in flamewars here
is pretty low compared to number of all devs... Most people really just
silently develop.

Just unsubscribe the list and you won't see it :)

nice stats - but how about commits per month to the big pool of gentoo 
repositories? (mostly important the portage tree, of course ^^)

I don't agree. Gentoo is not over.

But, is hard to believe that gentoo are going to survive.

Fights, public discussions, complains about proctors, CoC draft, so
many good developers retiring and bad publicity (or fights  in this
list are good thing?? )

Nowadays, this list looks more like a fight ring than a dev list.

I'm using gentoo for 4 years, I love emerge, I enjoy to be part of
gentoobr( Gentoo Brazilian community ), I'm always helping at gentoobr
and gentoo-chat. I really enjoy gentoo.

it feels really good to read ppl still enjoy things we all love in the end 
anyway - although, a public list is what the public community contributing to 
it is submitting. and if only the biatches between us have something to say 
this way, then it still doesn't mean that *all* of us act like that.

If you watch cia.vc, you would see that Gentoo is more often than not
*the* most active project, surely this must be a sign of at least a
*little* bit of activity? Just 'cos a small minority of us love the
occasional flamewar here and there doesn't mean that the other >80% or
so developers suddenly lay down and die... silly.

Oh, also, some of us can bitch and develop at once. Y'know. We have
like 8 arms. And we control like 4 computers at once *nod*. Kinda like
this dude here:
http://www.watauga.k12.nc.us/hp/images/octopus_working_on_pc_hg_clr.gif
But with more computers. Yar.

Now, please stop all your flamebaiting, bitching, etc, etc. Thanks. :)

Gentoo can't be over!  I still have $10 riding on Gentoo having a
larger market share than Windows Vista in 5 years!   I still think I
will win :)

Once somebody has learnt the truth, most find they can only deny it
for so long. :)

I agree a lot of the discussions turn into bitchfests, and it seems
many of our developers are going out of their way as of late to stir
the pot, but its well known that a small minority of whiners gives the
majority a bad name( not to go into politics, but take a look at
muslims & christians in modern media, its always the extremists who
are out there making the rest of them look bad by carrying their name
)

Also, I guess if you went into the chambers of your local government
it would often escillate into flamewars, at least thats what I've
gathered from the media..( .. unless thats only a small minority of
politicians making the rest look bad.....)

But  as a whole, at least in my opinion, you wont find a so well
structured community comprised with such a high percentage of people
who know what they're talking about. ( I find $OTHEROS rooms
frustrating as they're all full of the noobs asking  questions with
nobody who knows the answer.. its like a damn MSDN blog reply
list....'liek..zomg!..vista is so cool'  )

Developers do their job anyway. Just take a look at packages.gentoo.org
and visit bugzilla. Then end this stupid thread.
Thanks
