11-Alpha to 11-Beta rewrite card or buildworld

[Russell Haley]

Sorry about the top post. 

If your not trying to learn about the build process and‎ you don't have a custom build requirement, why not use a prebuilt image move on to validating the running OS instead of repeating what the build server does?

I would think there is more value in finding anomalies in your favorite applications. From my understanding there have been big changes to the fundamentals of the OS (i.e hard float, compiler upgrades, byte alignments etc).

I remember building Gentoo on an AMD K6II and it basically taking all
weekend, so that is why I figured couple of days.
