To clarify: Gentoo did no harm. Many Gentoo users cited the risks of prebuilt binaries in their evangelism of Gentoo. That perceived risk remains an undercurrent in people’s thinking today, even though we’ve generally since realized that prebuilt binaries aren’t the risk we were led to believe they were back then. I blame the Gentoo evangelists of yesterdecade for this persistent “anti-binary” mindset, not Gentoo itself.
