No, that's exactly what I mean. What if OSUOSL or some other
institution decides they'll pull funding unless the entire Gentoo
Gnome team is fired? Or what if the government funding them announces
that they can't use their money to accept contributions from or
give benefit to countries in the Axis of Evil?
The idea that Gentoo is currently immune to these kinds of pressures,
but suddenly wouldn't be if Github were to be used for hosting, isn't
really grounded in reality...
