I'm sure that there will always be enough of a user/developer base to at least keep it intact until it starts coming back. There are plenty of smaller distros that are more than surviving.

Why thats all I see, bureaucrats. Where are the real brains? in the basement? Gentoo Is Dead, not the concept, but the "name" and thus the distro. May we learn from this lesson and expire developers that do not contribute and be extremely wary of individuals that aspire for personal gratification via some superficial status such as a IRC operator or @leetdistro.org email - don't be so desperate for such immature developers, it will come back to bite you (as it has gentoo). Furthermore, always be on the look out for talentless individuals that only have "diplomas in psychology" or some warped "Public Relation" experience - that deviantly aspire to test "game theory" on a simple and innocent linux development community. Thus destroying it. Live and learn. Time for new concept (WIP). Gentoo will be superseded, by a far superior concept. Its just a matter of time. “gentoo is not about newsletters and management.”

Gentoo will be superseded, by a far superior concept. Its just a matter of time.

The Gentoo Foundation is still the legal owner per their Bylaws. I would like to see Daniel take the helm again so his supporters can return to Gentoo. If not, fork Gentoo, combine with Sabayon, or create a new distro, Funtoo, and watch his community grow.

Takes care of the noobs and it welcomes the willing. Definitely a win-win. @mieses
