Is Gentoo in crisis?

Posted by Hemos on from the well-yeah-probably dept.

TheCoop1984 writes "A recent article on distrowatch, and an extended thread on the gentoo forums, have pointed out that gentoo is not what it used to be. Daniel Robbins came back and went again after only a few days, developer turnover is as high as ever, personal attacks on the mailing lists are common, and people are generally not happy about the current state of affairs. Is gentoo rotting from the inside, and can anything be done about it?"

    That should be more correctly Linux/Debian to distinguish is from HURD/Debian.

    Compiling distros is for distro maintainers and people who can't find a distro for what they need. Gentoo's userbase should be much smaller than it is in light of that.
    Conclusion: There are a lot of idiots using Gentoo
