In that case, don't bother, because as the saying goes, attempting to get
100% agreement on /anything/ in gentoo is "like herding cats". It simply
Does. Not. Work.
The closest gentoo gets to 100% agreement is the ones who disagree
agreeing to yield to the council's decision and shut up for the sake of
maintaining the peace, believing time will eventually prove their point.
Or they don't, and they ultimately end up either deciding to go elsewhere
than gentoo on their own, or get booted by devrel, appeal to council goes
against them, and undertakers and infra shut down their dev access
permanently.
In fact, some of those people ended up with exherbo (which AFAIK is a
play on ex=former, and gentoo's larry the cow mascot) or other projects
which you would consider entirely competing. Yet there's a few devs that
contribute to both projects, and paludis is an accepted portage
alternative, with PMS accepted (grudgingly by some devs) and declared by
council to be a defining guideline for in-tree ebuilds. And both those
projects are originally/primarily exherbo authored/contributed.
