I think this is really the heart of your argument and others who feel "gentoo" is the best name for the repository. I'm not going to argue against that here. I'm not convinced that Gentoo is just the ebuild tree, but you're not really saying that. Is there a good reason not to call the repository "gentoo" and leave it at that? Are there other source repositories that are also key to Gentoo such that such a generic name would cause confusion? I think the biggest argument against this is that a Gentoo install is a compilation of many Gentoo projects, of which the ebuild tree is a key and unifying one, but it also includes stuff like the install media, stage3, openrc/baselayout, maybe eudev, and usually portage/emerge. Is there more to it than this? Is there a new argument we haven't already heard? I just want to make sure all the perspectives are out there before a call gets made. -- Rich
