The removal of Intel's Itanium support from Gentoo Linux is largely due to upstream dependencies as both the Linux kernel and GCC 15 have dropped Itanium.
Gentoo Linux's stance on rolling-release means they can no longer support architectures once the kernel or compiler no longer offers support, highlighting their reliance on upstream providers.
Funtoo, founded by Gentoo's creator, is facing uncertainty regarding its future, with Robbins initially declaring the end of the project before announcing it will continue in 'Hobby Mode'.
Robbins' shift from declaring the end of Funtoo to resuming its development demonstrates the complexities and challenges in maintaining open-source projects without a clear leadership succession plan.
