Over the years, I have seen this distro go from being the distro that was ahead of the curve, always innovating and embracing new tech, to a distro that is stagnating. I also keep hearing that Gentoo is a meta distribution and Gentoo is about choice. Well, the issue is that we can't be all things to all people, and that is what we have been attempting to be for the last few years now. I agree that we need to find a focus for Gentoo, and I like your use cases. What do others think?
