Simplifying it won't help. If Gentoo wants more developers, it has to
do three things:

* Start delivering again. Not just shiny things, although some new shiny
things would help, but also things that users and developers really
need.

* Substantially reduce user-visible breakages and breakages caused by
carelessness or deliberate negligence that take huge amounts of time to
fix.

* Reduce the amount of arcane undocumented voodoo.

The only relevance of organisational issues is whether they help or
hinder in achieving those objectives.

PMS, in a round-about way, helps with all three.
