Actually, I'd say that's a fairly accurate description of the
problem.
Some people think Gentoo should primarily be a fun-loving community
where everyone gets along, whilst others think Gentoo should
primarily
be a first-rate distribution delivering a quality product.
You say that as if it is mutually exclusive. I claim that having fun
leads to quality products because of motivation and the feedback
between people where one challenges the other to do better - I've
seen quite a few examples of such interactions in the past, but
thanks to depressing monologues by people with too much ego that is
becoming more and more rare.
Gentoo is supposed to be fun.
If it stops being fun only grumpy old men will do the bare minimum
to keep things from breaking too badly instead of improving things.
Meh. I demand mandatory fun hours twice a week! And a coffee
machine. And a pony. Yes! A pony!
GLEP 57. Coffee machine and Pony Needed.
When in need of help, Gentoo needs a knight in shining armour, that
usually comes as coffee so to facilitate that we need a coffee machine
and a pony. I have just been informed by amne that the pony needs to
be pink.
