My problems with the Foundation are rather known and not really relevant
here.  My point is that the Council defines the technical direction of
Gentoo, and in the end the Council should be making decisions as to what
projects should be funded or not.  Given that the Foundation is working
towards moving to an umbrella, the Council will eventually have to make
this kind of decisions, so it wouldn't hurt if they started taking some
responsibility today.
