I must agree that a gui is essential. Without this, most of gentoo's user base will disappear overnight, as it will be useless for any desktop application. Less users=less support, less development and eventually oblivion.

You make the assumption that part of what makes Gentoo what it is, is
having X. This is not the case. It doesn't matter what you say about

X is part of "system" in my interpretation), it is not a "major
component" of the "operating system."
