The culture of Gentoo will not allow it to go stagnant like Debian has. We are known for our openness and friendliness with everyone, from the developer to the newbie. Gentoo will only get bogged down in a bureaucratic mess if we allow it. There is such a thing as a sane, efficient, democratic, governing system.
