That page also explained, IIRC, that the sole owner of Gentoo had been working on some special new business ideas, rather exclusively, which seemed unfair given that so many folks have been *giving* *freely* to Gentoo's mission. Sounds like a good enough reason to move on and establish a new venture, especially as one that better represents the sentiments and desires of the community!!
