Sure, but ZFS on Linux isn't a Gentoo project. |

I'm not saying people who are Gentoo devs can't also do other things. |

Lots of Gentoo devs are involved in lots of stuff that gets a fair bit |
| 10 |
of respect. OpenRC is a big example of this. From time to time I bump |
| 11 |
into signs of Gentoo on upstream projects (just today that included |
| 12 |
SoapySDRPlay). |

Also, this gives us an opportunity to set an example, in helping to |
| 15 |
ensure the upstream project is maintained in a distro-friendly manner |
| 16 |
where Gentoo is a first class citizen. |

I'm not saying that stuff like this should be banned from infra. It |
| 19 |
just seems like an unnecessary constraint all-around. It means that |
| 20 |
the project has to generally follow Gentoo policies/etc, and is |
| 21 |
limited to the tools we provide. Just something to think about... |
