Sure, why couldn't it? If they need some kind of blessing from on
high at some point they need only ask.

Nor should they. Creating Gentoo certifications doesn't require
telling anybody else what they can/can't do. Nor does improving Java
support, or making Gentoo more suitable for any particular purpose.
Somebody just needs to create it, either through personal effort, or
for gathering others with a like mind.
eudev was created because a bunch of developers wanted to create it.
Now everybody else can choose to use it or not as their preference.
What could a "Chief Architect" do besides just pick one winner and
have everybody else go elsewhere? The Council was involved in getting
to where we are, mostly by ironing out compromises so that the various
options can co-exist and somebody can run eudev and sysvinit without
having to fork the entire rest of the distro.
