> My own view is that some recent comment is colored or even motivated
by envy of Gentoo's status as the top Linux distro, the one the pros use
(PACE Slackware). Users graduate to Gentoo from the binary distros,
they don't graduate from Gentoo anywhere else. Those who do leave
lack time or the ability to understand Linux & manage their own system.

A word of advice from a (literally) grey beard Unix hacker: With this paragraph, you took your own eloquent description into a deep dive. There are many reasons to choose a Linux distribution, and to paint all Gentoo non-users as incompetent Linux administrators is such a grossly incompentent statement, it boggles one's mind. With that all your previous paragraphs are worth nothing any more, just fanboy shouting. Why should we believe you, when you're spouting such obvious infantile nonsense?

You wrote about the problem of Gentoo having too young contributors, "average age seems to be c 25". I hope you're not typical, otherwise the average age would be more like "c 6". (I assume that "c" means "ca." but actually don't know it. But maybe I'm simply too old, or you're not used to communicate with non-native English speakers, in your age.)
