Agreed. But it can be made a pleasant experience... or not. Why make it an experience that people have to be dragged kicking and screaming into, when if it wes presented a bit differently, people might actually /want/ to cooperate for a better gentoo, even if it's sometimes more work for them personally? That's all I'm saying. It's being made a whole lot less pleasant that it might be... for what reason? Just to satisfy someone's ego that they're right and can /force/ compliance?
