gentoo is held on together by passion. well, not all of gentoo. MY
gentoo.
it was never going to be a mainstream distro. might have been a fad for
a while, for some people able to follow guides. but people who use this
distro... do not need guides.
it is what is. a collection of hacks for hackers. gentoo doesn't and
shouldn't compete in a popularity contest. but on the other hand, I
don't plan to stop using it even if the devs magically dissapear over
night. I'll go back to lfs before I'd go back to any binary distro. and
I'm pretty sure i'm not the only one.
people who actually choose gentoo for what it is, do not need their
hand held. do not whine. and certainly don't care about "the number of
this" or the "number of that" or "how great that would be". you don't
like it? it's prolly not for you.
