I don't understand you. Greg is a Gentoo developer; he would never
propose for Gentoo to disappear.

I don't consider myself (nor any other Gentoo user) an ordinary user;
Gentoo is for power users, I believe. That is orthogonal to get a
vertically integrated, tightly coupled system, and the advantages of
it are independent of how easy to use is the system. The primary
advantage (from my point of view) is that we get a unique, robust
stack from kernel to userspace, where we don't need to worry about 20
different implementations of the same functionality.

I think that's what Greg was talking about, and I agree with that.

Regards.
