sponsorship, etc. Before modifying the Social Contract, I'd
recommend consulting an attorney with expertise in such matters. The
last thing Gentoo needs is major legal hassles.

Unless there's a compelling business argument for this practice, I

+1, as they say on other lists, with the proviso that the discussion
continue until all have been heard. Processes like this take as long as

unacceptable treatment from a Gentoo community member,
developer, user, interested bystander, etc. Perhaps if I had, it would
change my views. But, as the saying goes, where there's smoke, there's
fire, and I'd prefer not to inhale the smoke. :)

trashed. But unacceptable behavior of anyone --
a developer or a user -- is just that -- *unacceptable*. And a lack of
an effective way of dealing with it *will* kill Gentoo.

I'm not a developer ... and I'm not in California ... but I am a Gentoo
bigot and I'm certainly willing to help out ... as are most Gentoo
users/developers. The documentation and forums are excellent, as are the
IRC channels.
As far as installation is concerned, the complexity pretty much depends

I was just going to say something similar, although I'm not an employee

Should I *not* emerge this gcc? I usually hold off on gcc updates when
