Its a bit late in the day in this part of the world for april fools jokes isn't it?
anyway, thats the consensus on the gentoo email list. A selection of comments:
Is the GWN some sick twisted april fools joke? Are we really moving to rpms and if so who is smoking the crack. If you want rpms use redhat.
Got a bunch of us. But it shows how much we like ebuilds and how good they are. Before I figured it out I was having cold chills and spasms just thinking about RPM - arrrrggggggghhhhhH!
I'm so glad you said that, I was about to go to bed and have nightmares of losing some of Gentoo's best features. I was completely taken in, but only for a couple of minutes... honest.
Have they been embellishing it or something? I fail to see how anyone could read it and not instantly know that it is a joke. Some of the text is hysterical! Case in point:
Additionally, because of LSB's required library support, the xfree86 package will move to become part of the base Gentoo Linux system, rather than an optional addition.
man, i was already getting seriously worried... thank god for april fools! have a fun day,
