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Well, but providing outdated (ie.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.

I agree.
And i don't think that this is contradicting my statement, does it?
    

Depends. You're saying, that Gentoo might look to be incomplete, if
it were to rely on other distributions (Live CDs). I'm saying, that
it currently already looks to be incomplete, despite there being a
install CD - a CD, which is outdated.
