...or devs... Seriously, no users == no community. Why? Because devs don't get along with each other well enough to qualify as a community. It's really the untold masses that make Gentoo a community. What's one of the top resources cited as the greatness of Gentoo? The wiki. Which isn't even official or sanctioned, but that is instead run largely by the community at large. Bah. This entire debate is extremely disheartening. How many devs out there sprung from the ground pre-formed, and how many started out as users in the community? *That* is the pool from which we draw our ranks, from which we get our support and direction. This elitist attitude is what drives the rationale devs to be hermits and just answer to their small piece of the pie - because we don't give two figs about who's ego is mightiest, just that we are producing something useful that makes us happy, without breaking things for those dependent on us, the users. Talk like this, especially from people I respected, makes me question just what its worth to keep going. If Gentoo is only about the devs, well, I'm happy with the way things are now, they work for me, so no sense in working any further on perl-land.
