More realistic/probable concerns are umbrellas enforcing rules/guidelines/requirements that Gentoo may not agree with. Examples have been given in the past, but some may be licenses we may not agree with, social issues (main vs master) that we may not agree with, etc. Additionally, please keep in mind that having an impact on these umbrellas generally requires some form of external membership to vote and have a voice (which may be a neglible representation/impact). These concerns are some of the reasons I have advocated to keep our elected foundation representation which comes from our dev population. History (over the last 2-3 years) shows that such interference with the project (i.e. council) is nil. We (trustees) simply meet the legal requirement to have a board, pay the bills, and stay out of the way. -Aaron --IORVvac9WelWLDTM Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQEzBAABCAAdFiEEmv7M5qd5RX+UB+cwV6vTrTwY1fAFAmDlt0cACgkQV6vTrTwY 1fBBTAf/XGUfSgvHAX3eO8mLzIy6nmmlHJ8b2u+EQK2MagiyKVZUDv5yjcgey/eq +ssNIH6wgjpGW1rcp6vaHEaQn63CmJ78f2gX2p2i6VkK50yeBxJJsnMdjY++W3hA VLReFymhdxQfG9EkPRxJMqiTNgQ0kASM0v0prXFBD0wFwnneN8eypmLTrk4to8gM ve39GLSb9XIrT2cClF9v0p1JmvJ+B06L3Pt5tWH3if+G1NCl0OUvUp8oFdYT+Dlf FpxhJ7y+MCWR48iCqsUk6lpcd9SAXvvgvdECngl+/BET7IIy2PSDjnTkGcqaTQra 92BWi4S0d1ghxR85VP5Bhh8vsa9xVg== =pzZx -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --IORVvac9WelWLDTM--
