A well considered and thoughtful message. Reinvigorating communities is hard, and I hope the rest of the Gentoo developer community will find inspiration from the gentle encouragement to be positive, even if it turns out the specific ideas aren't the direction you want to go. For all that the original poster got hammered about the stage4 thing, as a long time Gentoo advocate I must admit that the constant stream of negativity connected with so many developers getting upset and leaving in a relatively short period of time is vaguely unsettling. It's good to see other developers noting that they are happy - it balances things. One of the hallmarks of Gentoo has been whole tree co-ordination and the fact that developers are able to cover for each other is really rather cool. Regardless of any structural changes you might make, this characteristic co-ordination and co-operation is what has made Gentoo an impressive distribution and so I hope you manage to maintain this spirit in the years to come.
