Thank you for you opinion. 

The competition in open source world is much harder than with
commercial software. 3 commercial systems share 96% of the users.

1,6% of the users are shared by 296 Linux distros

You may think that you're outside this rules but the competition is natural 
on the planet and Gentoo is certainly competing weather you want it or not.

Competition was long before a human foot stood on the ground for the first 
time :-) And suddenly there is no competition in Linux world - do you really 
belive in it?
