Sure, but since you're only doing exactly what you want, when you want, why
do you guys keep bleating about how much work you have, and what
extravagant demands us lusers make on you?

And please don't tell me you're not proud of being a Gentoo dev, and it
doesn't help you personally in your careers. You're a bunch of selfish
malcontents according to your definition. Some coders know that without
users their code is worthless. NFC why anyone would want to be a ``dev''
like you outline.

If you don't like it, ignore it.

BTW I sincerely hope that isn't _all_ that motivates you, Mr Gaffney.
Doing "anything [you] want, whether the user community at large likes it or
not," is a recipe for disaster for _any_ software project.
