I sincerly hope gentoo will stay the way it is right now.While it maybe takes more time to get a gentoo box up and running it defenitely pays off in the end with a personnally tuned system according to ones wishes.Currently gentoo attracts just the userbase it deserves and not the can-never-be-satisfied-whiners of most easy fast default install distros.

"Currently gentoo attracts just the userbase it deserves and not the can-never-be-satisfied-whiners of most easy fast default install distros."

So you think Gentoo *deserves* the ricers amongst its fanbase, do you? The ones who waste the devs' time with bugs like http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=74072 and make statements such as the ones immortalised on http://www.funroll-loops.org?
