Because it implies a professional priest caste separate from the
developers who will inevitably drift away and lose the perspective needed to
understand the concerns of people actually working on the distro?
No, because a lot of infrastructure stuff takes so much time that it is almost
not possible to maintain packages probably anymore. Remember, people have a
real
life, too.
I think this could be said equally as accurately that people who work on the
infrastructure put all their time into it to the exclusion of package work -
yielding the opposite conclusion to yours.
