    Personally I think this is rather exciting.

    FIrst of all it could make things a lot easier for many people and/or companies doing embedded development and relying on cross compiling.

    And secondly Exherbo is sending a significant amount of patches upstream and follow up on them to make sure they're accepted by the upstream projects. This should benefit all of us and not just the minority using Exherbo Linux.

    So all in all I see plenty of reason to be excited about this development even if you're not an Exherbo user.

    I’ve been using it for many years now and it’s a very nice and solid distribution.
