Parent article: Gentoo after DRobbins

Thanks. That's exactly the type of article I was looking for when I made
the request that LWN cover this. It's a fitting tribute to the man that
founded the (meta)-distro, and what he achieved, while continuing to exude
all appropriate confidence that the meta-distro had become far more than
the man, and will not only carry on without him, but continue to thrive.

Just as every parent must at some point let go of their kid and let them
move out, so Daniel Robbins, as that good parent, realized the time had
come to encourage his own baby to make that break and start life on its
own.

Thank you, Daniel!
