It's not really a matter of rolling over. They "roll over" all the time and much more frequently than others. Gentoo has a history of providing options to use the latest stuff, long before most distros even talk about it. OpenRC is a perfect example, Gentoo gave up on SysVinit and switched to OpenRC as a default init system long before systemd and upstart were around. OpenRC implements a lot of new features. Gentoo is clearly not a good choice for someone wanting to stay old and crufty. Stick to Debian Stable and Arch (somewhat) if you are old and crufty. /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
