The only one playing politics here is you. Adding --as-needed changes
the semantics of the toolchain so as to violate the relevant
standards. In some specific cases it might be OK or even beneficial,
but doing it by default is wrong by definition. This has been pointed
out ever since the issue was first discussed, but some people like to
stick their fingers in their ears and dismiss legitimate technical
arguments as "trolling" and "politics". If people seriously want to
improve the tone in Gentoo, then the first thing to fix is those who
like to demonise others out of spite for pointing out flaws in their
ideas.
