A project to create embedded versions of Gentoo Linux has achieved preliminary releases on x86, MIPS, PPC, and ARM. The releases include native core system binaries, cross-platform toolchains, and, for x86, an optional hardened toolchain. The year-old project needs developers to help add cross-compile awareness to source packages.

Well, the guy was not kicked off, he left angrilly. There have some people been kicked of the team but not this one, and for different reasons too.
About the lack of focus:
- The livecd was partly a mistake from the journalist, but we will look into it (maybe a DVD). Our catalyst makes making such a system quite easy (the job of specifying the contents and making sure it's not too much).
- Gentoo is a rather loose distribution. Everyone can do what he wants, and if that means someone wants to make gentoo work for embedded systems, there is a place as long as nothing else is hindered or the developers agree. Crosscompilation is usefull in general (like for old or less powerfull machines).
