the more professional is having a system which doe snot need support from the community or vendor most of the time because a 100% working package management where you even can downgrade single packages for whatever reason INSTANTLY you CAN NOT do this with Gentoo because there is no "yum downgrade package-name" and in the worst case you have to wait until all sorts of deps are compiled against a downgraded library have fun if your machine is broken due a update-mistake and you have no time to wait - and that is why i would NOT consider Gentoo as professional distribution especially not in the way of the stupid post to which my reply was targeted
