Xfce and Choice
Since my last entry, a several important things happened. A number of users and developers chose to engage in a flamewar on the mailing lists. A few developers chose to leave. Many chose to just ignore the problems and focus on their work. Meanwhile, the council has chosen to start doing something about it. Since that last entry ("It's not about choice"), many things have happened. Well, we're Gentoo. We're flexible. We choose when to do things and when to do nothing. We'll adapt, and hopefully we'll weather the storm.
This weekend I chose (there's that word again) to update my Xfce Guide for 4.4, which is now being stabilized. Kudos to the arch teams and the xfce team; you guys rock!
You'll find new package suggestions, new descriptions, tips, links, and even a chapter on migrating from 4.2 to 4.4.
Now, you can choose (that was the last one, I promise) to do many things, but I hope you'll choose (okay, maybe not; I'm such a tease) to read the updated guide and try out Xfce 4.4 yourself.
And now, I choose to go to bed, since the PST to PDT change means the clock just struck 3AM.
Edit: Who's this joker over here? Who chose to write up that kind of wackiness?!?

I chose (ahem...) to start using Xfce 4.4 when it was still in package.mask as this was new to me (I used to run fluxbox) and it didn't make much sense to me to start using a soon-to-be-outdated version.
There were very few problems and I've been awaiting the updated guide.
This user, at least, if very gateful. Thanks again.
