I feel a > little sad about it, or I'd just quietly go away. I know how you feel :-) I've tried to get away from Gentoo several times, and failed. The amount of work we all put into keeping things working is best described as "bat shit crazy", but we do it anyway. Maybe it's like a drug thing, we all need a daily fix or we need to prove we can still do it. Kevin, you were around here for ages and you certainly pulled your fair share of the load. FLOSS thrives on people just like that. But if Gentoo doesn't suit your needs anymore, then so be it. Doesn't mean you won't be missed though. Best of luck for the future.
