That's not what he said.
He said gentoo doesn't, and can't support it, because it's a world of
pain to provide proper support to everyone who wants it. If you want it,
as you do, you get to do it yourself. While it still works, grat. When
it stops working, you fix it.
He did not say, as you imply, that it cannot work right now.
