Right, basicly telling people "You have to depend on / use other distros
to install our OS, cause we are not able to / don´t have time to provide
this" sounds a little fishy. It makes Gentoo look incomplete.
    

Well, but providing outdated (ie. non-usable for new systems) install
medium is also very bad. And if the installer doesn't work (satisfactory),
then that gives an even worse impression.
