I don't really understand your negativity.  You seem to assume that
everyone in the distributions means harm to it.  Why don't you have more
trust in your colleagues?  Don't you think they mean the best for Gentoo
and are not really interested in 'hostile takeovers'?  (I mean, how
could you even consider a 'hostile' takeover when we're all Gentoo
devs?)
