@Dietrich T. Schmitz, Your Linux Advocate
Gentoo is a very special distro, those who use it made an explicit choice of living on the bleeding edge and sometimes they will actually bleed.
Gentoo lacks the manpower to police every package that's used in their fast paced releases, they don't maintain a true repository, they just mirror and redistribute packages.
Those who choose to use Gentoo must have the means to deal with that situation because Gentoo is not for the faint of heart.
That's how life is.
