Easier, and saner to just plain drop the subdomain notion.  Avoids the 
whole gentoo personel first class/second class issue first of all, 
second avoids infra aliasing annoyances.

Note also that retired.gentoo.org shouldn't really accomplish 
anything, unless the dev is able to send through the account (if they're 
retired, I would posit they shouldn't be able to).

Subject for another glep I'd think, although tbh not something I 
personally have much interest in- rules and conventions across 
channels vary fairly massively.  I wouldn't be too happy if the 
language requirement wound up forced on #gentoo-portage for example 
(nor do I suspect would the hardened crowd) :)
