We are not in disagreement, we just apparently do things differently. I prefer the 'rolling release' type of system that always has *everything* reasonably up to date, and gentoo gives me that.
As does Slackware, however I have a problem convincing PV to include dovecot in mainstream, but hey, he still prefers sendmail over postfix, which is fine for system only users, but most of us do a lot more, and Claus has told me directly they will never support MySQL so we removed them from use, and, most serious sys admins use source anyway, it is in my opinion that all serious system admins should always use source for key daemons as you can build it to include and not include what you require, not rely on some bloated, out dated, feature-less distro build.
I will never use debian or its derivatives for its outdated crud, and I would rather not use RHEL because of its old but patched methods, gentoo and slackware are the only two serious "Linux" OS's that should ever be in a serious data centre, IMHO.
