Exherbo: Gentoo with more attitude?

I would completely agree with that sentiment and used similar disclaimers and warnings on the
FOLK project, which sought to make people aware of lesser-known kernel projects and features.
Ultimately, the limit on development comes from communication, and communication is itself
limited by awareness.

Experimental ideas, new ways of approaching problems, concepts that seem right even if there's
uncertainty about implementation - this is where Open Source gets fun for the experimenter.
The safest code is stale code, because only with zero changes can you accurately predict
behaviour and interaction. In turn, that's not very interesting to developers with an itch to
scratch.
