For a while Gentoo hasn't been going into a direction I like, and to me it doesn't look like that's about to change any time soon. Despite attempts to convince me of the contrary, I'm not sure I see the technical advancements that I'd like happening, in Gentoo. That aside there're numerous non-technical problems behind the scenes, that most devs probably acknowledge by now... There're other projects in the Free-Software world that I currently enjoy putting my time into more, I'm sure it's more than obvious to those of you who know me which... So long, Ingmar Vanhassel, ex-Gentoo KDE developer.
