Gentoo just got forked. The guy who is managing the fork, Zachary Welch
is talking about the reasons why he and a bunch of other Gentoo
developers are doing this fork take a look at
http://www.zynot.org/info/fork.html
The picture that this guy is drawing, from gentoo developers and it's
atmosphere isn't good at all. it seems the guy who founded Gentoo,
Daniel Robbins, nearly controlls everything, and many of the decisions
are made without consulting the community. as an example he
talks about Gentoo Games initiative.
One thing which I could never figure about Gentoo is that although they
have a social contract http://www.gentoo.org/main/en/contract.xml which
is based and similar to Debian Free Software Guidlines, but they also
heavily work on things like Unreal Tourtoment and encourage and
advertise using them.
