No, that's exactly what I mean. What if OSUOSL or some other |
| 15 |
institution decides they'll pull funding unless the entire Gentoo |
| 16 |
Gnome team is fired? Or what if the government funding them announces |
| 17 |
that they can't use their money to accept contributions from or |
| 18 |
give benefit to countries in the Axis of Evil? |

The idea that Gentoo is currently immune to these kinds of pressures, |
| 21 |
but suddenly wouldn't be if Github were to be used for hosting, isn't |
| 22 |
really grounded in reality... |
