Are you guys for real?

Ok,
Gentoo is over. ; As an outsider who has been following gentoo-dev and other gentoo lists for a while, this is just completely nuts. ;
Is there any order or clear idea anymore for this distro?  No other distro seems to be as lost or confused as Gentoo is.  And WTF is this list going to discuss development?  Do you guys develop ANYTHING?  Or Do you just bitch all day?   Good bye Gentoo, when you grow up and know what your goals are etc I'll be back. ; Love the distro, but Jesus the politics and the bitching gets out.

Just an observation from the outside.

Don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out.
Throwing fresh
logs on the fire doesn't help (and neither did this email,
but I had
to say it).

Are you following also mail lists of other distros?

Yep there's still development going on, devs commit ebuilds
and stuff.
Also, as said many times, number of devs participating in
flamewars here
is pretty low compared to number of all devs... Most people
really just
silently develop.

Just unsubscribe the list and you won't see it

I don't agree. Gentoo is not over.

But, is hard to believe that gentoo are going to survive.

Fights, public discussions, complains about proctors, CoC
draft, so
many good developers retiring and bad publicity (or fights 
in this
list are good thing?? )

Nowadays, this list looks more like a fight ring than a dev
list.

I'm using gentoo for 4 years, I love emerge, I enjoy to be
part of
gentoobr( Gentoo Brazilian community ), I'm always helping
at gentoobr
and gentoo-chat. I really enjoy gentoo.

If you watch cia.vc, you would see that Gentoo is more often
than not
*the* most active project, surely this must be a sign of at
least a
*little* bit of activity? Just 'cos a small minority of us
love the
occasional flamewar here and there doesn't mean that the
other >80% or
so developers suddenly lay down and die... silly.

Oh, also, some of us can bitch and develop at once. Y'know.
We have
like 8 arms. And we control like 4 computers at once *nod*.
Kinda like
this dude here:
http://www.watauga.k12.nc.us/hp/images/oc
topus_working_on_pc_hg_clr.gif
But with more computers. Yar.

Now, please stop all your flamebaiting, bitching, etc, etc.
Thanks. 

welp

Gentoo can't be over!  I still have $10 riding on Gentoo
having a
larger market share than Windows Vista in 5 years!   I still
think I
will win

Once somebody has learnt the truth, most find they can only
deny it
for so long. 

I agree a lot of the discussions turn into bitchfests, and
it seems
many of our developers are going out of their way as of late
to stir
the pot, but its well known that a small minority of whiners
gives the
majority a bad name( not to go into politics, but take a
look at
muslims & christians in modern media, its always the
extremists who
are out there making the rest of them look bad by carrying
their name
)

Also, I guess if you went into the chambers of your local
government
it would often escillate into flamewars, at least thats what
I've
gathered from the media..( .. unless thats only a small
minority of
politicians making the rest look bad.....)

But  as a whole, at least in my opinion, you wont find a so
well
structured community comprised with such a high percentage
of people
who know what they're talking about. ( I find $OTHEROS
rooms
frustrating as they're all full of the noobs asking 
questions with
nobody who knows the answer.. its like a damn MSDN blog
reply
list....'liek..zomg!..vista is so cool'  )
