Obviously, build automation will continue to be a critical part of all distributions, pre-configured defaults will continue to be a subjective matter, and various takes will always exist on the optimum degree of knob-twiddlability for any given user community. This is just technical reality and human nature. I don't see any real point here. PS.

While I have immense respect for anyone who can deal with bureaucracy long enough to actually become a Gentoo developer, personally I don't see this guy's personal rants as representative of much at all.
