Nobody can expect anybody to maintain something for them, but if some are willing to step up and give Gentoo a bit of a broader perspective that is what we're all about. Where else are you going to find a linux distro that can run a fair bit of their repository on Interix of all things? We all get grumpy from time to time, but I've learned that if you're going to speak up it is best if you're doing so to offer something better, and not just to gripe. My hat is always off to those who write code, and the community around Gentoo that has allowed us to choose whether to run it. Systemd, Dracut, Wayland, and more - bring it on, and if my writing an odd init script/unit/whatever for a package I maintain makes it possible to do something genuinely new with Gentoo, then file all the bugs you want. :) Rich
