You do realize that this very topic was brought up in an insulting
email written by a Trustee putting down the members of the Council,
right?
And I've repeatedly said that my intent is not to smear individual
Trustees and that I believe that most participating in this discussion
right now mean well. I think that the problems here are systemic, and
not so much with the individuals, other than that they are human and
unpaid volunteers (which is systemic). Heck, I used to be a Trustee
and was an officer until not all that long ago.
There are MANY of us who have concerns over Gentoo's current state.
The problem is that there is disagreement around how to resolve it.

Only on paper. If they actually tried to exercise this right it would
certainly lead to complete chaos. I suspect for the most part
everybody would just ignore them, and they'd be forced to try to
undertake legal measures to seize control of the Foundation assets
assuming they could even afford to do this. In the meantime most of
the distro would probably just carry on without them.
In the worst case Gentoo would end up changing its name and hosting.
I suspect this would only happen after considerable expense by the
Foundation to boot everybody out, assuming this even succeeded.
But, this is all hypothetical. I doubt any of this would ever happen,
because the Trustees have no incentive to basically destroy the
Foundation over something like this. At the very least it would be
counterproductive.
