So what is the distinction? If it's not about the actual stuff installed on the machine (or ideas about what should be installed) but is still Gentoo-related, it goes into Chat, but otherwise it belongs in Other Things?

OTG is for support questions that don't fit in anywhere else. GC is "Anything and everything about Gentoo except support questions."
Since posts about gentoo-wiki/portage going down appear here, I thought that it was suitable to move this topic here as well.

Yeah, but this is about packages.gentoo.org going down, not the wiki or gentoo-portage. Someone mentioned those as an alternative while the official Gentoo site is down. In fact, they both work just fine.

Sorry if I wasn't clear. I meant that Gentoo Chat has been used in the past for people asking about downtime for gentoo-wiki/portage, so it seemed natural that a problem with package.g.o would also go there.

A message about one of the various (in)official Gentoo(-related) servers beeing down isn't really a classical support question so GC fits better.

OK, that makes sense. I suppose technically it could be a sort of support question, just not one for Gentoo Linux.

Exactly. OTG is meant for support on an individual Gentoo installation and most of the official/inofficial Gentoo servers aren't ever needed to setup/run/maintain that one (short of e.g. the master rsync servers and maybe the official documentation)
