Well, we have debated about everything to death, and independent of the 
technical details and of the issue at hand it always boils down to the same 
non-technical points:

* Do you see yourself as "maintainer of package X", or do you see yourself as 
"maintainer of package X which is a part of Gentoo"?

* How many compromises are you willing to accept to provide the best user 
experience?

* How many compromises are you willing to accept to help your colleague 
developers?

In my personal opinion, it's worthwhile to cooperate and put effort into 
Gentoo to improve the distribution as a whole. It is NOT worthwhile to focus 
on isolated solutions, refuse to cooperate with others, and waste energy on 
turf wars.
