The problem is people reading our webpage, realising that it states very clearly that Exherbo is *not* ready for users yet (or developers for that matter) and then deciding they know better than the people actually running the project.
Why do you think honesty equals a lack of people skills? I'm going to counter your theory with my own about your problem coming down to thinking you know better than everybody else and a general mistrust apparently leading you to believe we're lying on our website. Now, for all those people that's actually willing to listen to us and not decide that we're somehow lying and trying to keep cool stuff away from them I've just talked to our PR department and they reaffirmed that they're going to update the website as soon as Exherbo is ready to be used outside the developer group. > In short, my advice would be to do what a number of us are doing.
