I'd like to pass a big question™ towards the Council since there seems
to be some disagreement on the direction Gentoo should take:

===
Should Gentoo developers be expected to be able to find a way to work
together to build a somewhat consistent distribution, or should it be
allowed for individual developers to 'run their own shops' and ignore
everybody else?
===

To explain what I mean with an extreme example: in the past we had
a developer who blocked adding systemd units to his own packages because
of his own personal agenda against systemd.  This was obviously harmful
to systemd users who couldn't install use those packages normally,
and was harmful to consistent user experience across Gentoo.

In my opinion, such behavior is unacceptable but given that similar
issues regularly emerge, maybe I'm wrong.
