Como continuación de mi entrada de los problemas en Gentoo, vi este chiste que me pareció fabuloso:
How many gentoo developers does it take to change a light bulb?
Answer: Unknown. It was estimated that a five-member committee of lightbulb maintenance would be the right number. However two of the members resigned and were replaced with two others. After that other members resigned and were not replaced. The remaining group pondered which wattage should be chosen for the replacement lightbulb or if they should outsource lightbulb maintenance to an even bigger group of people who would probably have some knowledge of electric engineering and shopping among them. In the end, nobody bought a new lightbulb even though they promised the matter of darkness would be solved within a few days.
One member of committee justified this by him living on another continent where lightbulbs adhere to an incompatible standard. Half a year later when the lightbulb was still out most of the committee had went AWOL except for one resigned member who sincerely said he was sorry for his inability to fulfil or make any progress towards his grand plan for the lightbulb.
So five (or seven) was not it. Other numbers will be tried shortly after the committee of building maintenance comes to a decision.
