It has been discussed previously on the mailing lists. I'm too lazy to look up the old thread, but, as with most things Gentoo, nobody agreed on anything and, at the end of the day, nothing was done. My personal opinion: we have a hard enough time developing a high-quality distribution that meets the needs of our users. We don't need to go meddling in politics, too. --kurt
