The level of control over gentoo that Daniel Robbins has jockied to maintain is SCARY, e.g.: the portage2 spat or the embedded gentoo brouhaha.

Unilateral decisions, or abuse of power, in a project as big as Gentoo is hugely detrimental to the moral of all involved in its development. I doubt many companies would be willing to give it a go with Gentoo based on Daniel Robbins' track record. To be fair, maybe I'm missing Daniel's point of view... *shrug*
