Unfortunately, that's selecting a rather biased audience. The success
of a forum depends upon the number of active posters it has. The number
of active posters it has depends upon how many people need to post
there to get answers to questions, and how many wrong answers have to
be given before the right answer comes up. Thus, by selecting from the
forums, you're picking an audience that likes talking endlessly about
communities, not one that likes to answer a question once, correctly,
and then change things so the question doesn't need to be answered
again.

All bringing more sensitive people in does is cripples the
distribution's ability to delivery any technical improvements, since
everyone's time is wasted worrying about the whiners. And let's face
it, the sort of people who moan about that kind of thing are going to
find a reason to moan no matter what.
> Think about it. What kind of people would you rather have in Gentoo?
Personally, I'd like to see Gentoo start having the kinds of people who
deliver a better product, not the kinds of people who worry that using
a gender-ambiguous cow as a logo might be offensive.
