Sorry, could you clarify what you mean by this?

I made a comment about the facts of reality regarding how Gentoo *is*
developed. I understand that this has posed challenges to you and makes
your work harder. Nonetheless, my statement about facts and realities is
true: Gentoo really did remove upstream tree support for both from the
::gentoo tree.

What, therefore, is "invalid" about my argument? Are you writing to the
mailing list to inform me that my understanding of reality is invalid,
and that contrary to my belief, the ::gentoo tree *does* officially
support (and package!) libressl and eudev?
