It's relevant in that people have to work with the developers of the package manager. Unlike most other things in the portage tree, the package manager ties very closely to the very definition of the distribution itself. Hence, if people are unable to get along, then by adopting a package manager like that, you inherently adopt the developers of that package manager and all the personnel issues that accompany it. Ideally, however, I agree with you that it should be based on technical merits. The reality is that there are people involved. And people always complicate things.
