Where are you getting this stuff? People seem to talk about "old guard" Gentoo devs blocking contributions, but the very few times anything remotely resembling this gets pointed out the Council has stepped in to remove obstructions. There are of course a few long-running personality conflicts that flare up from time to time, and attempts at obstructionism, but they tend to get shot down which is as it should be. If somebody feels otherwise then they really need to step up and call attention to it. Simply complaining about being oppressed is really just being part of the problem. -- Rich
