7 It's relevant in that people have to work with the developers of the
8 package manager. Unlike most other things in the portage tree, the
9 package manager ties very closely to the very definition of the
10 distribution itself. Hence, if people are unable to get along, then by
11 adopting a package manager like that, you inherently adopt the
12 developers of that package manager and all the personnel issues that
13 accompany it.

15 Ideally, however, I agree with you that it should be based on technical
16 merits. The reality is that there are people involved. And people
17 always complicate things.
