Hi,
I certainly didn't want to start a flame war about gentoo.
Just maybe point out why wanting to set lots of aggressive flags is
counter productive, especially in anything like trunk.

I have to admit that, that site is a little aggressive (And so are the
flags, LOL) But I think a lot of it is a "Tongue in cheek" Look and a
waving and pointing of fingers in a sarcastic way.

As a whole gentoo isn't a bad distribution, it's just when you get
those that want to selfishly try to optimize everything in such a way,
it kind of spoils it for those that are testing seriously and
genuinely want to contribute to the project.

Gentoo is actually a great distribution but the thing that harms it is
the amount of maintenance that the ebuilds require. Some thing I would
like to see NixOS avoid if at all possible. :)

Thanks,

Tony
