I have my own view on that. I'd say the handbook should just tell people
to make a chroot in any old distro of their choice. Personally, I use
RiplinuX, mostly because I've used it for years
The reason I say Gentoo shouldn't worry about installers is that the
typical person installing Gentoo already knows about chroots. Someone
who doesn't is unlikely to consider Gentoo at all (unless they are
looking to rice, but we long since moved past that).
This idea will of course not be popular, I'll be told I'm trying to be
elitist, and so the search for the perfect installer will continue unabated
