Considering there have been almost 6000 commits to the repository in the last 21 |
| 9 |
days, I would question that claim. |

gentoo-dev isn't really filled with any sort aggression. There is healthy |
| 14 |
debate, especially considering the recent switch to Python 3.7 and masking of |
| 15 |
most 3.6-only packages, but that rigorous scrutiny is a requirement for such a |
| 16 |
strong distro. |

There have, of course, been exceptions, such as when bman went on an |
| 19 |
"unsanctioned Python crusade" (removal of all Python 2 packages; not the |
| 20 |
greatest of ideas), however in general, the Gentoo community is one of the most |
| 21 |
alive and healthy I've seen in any Linux distribution. |
