1. Clarify the structure of Gentoo and eliminate this perception of 2 headed |
| 8 |
beast. Having two entities in silo's. Mostly a mental change, as this |
| 9 |
structure someone exists already. |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
2. Solving the problem of having 2 top level entities for a project that are |
| 12 |
not unified nor working together, etc. It is an initial step, mostly a logical |
| 13 |
one. Next would be on having them work together, duties, roles, checks and |
| 14 |
balances, etc. |

People keep seeing things as 2 entities but there really is 1 Gentoo. |
| 17 |
Foundation owns it all, is legally responsible, and liable. Thus is just |
| 18 |
unifying that structure. People are making it out to be more. |

Now if voting pools are unified, and things like council and Trustees merge, |
| 21 |
this will be a much bigger more contestable change. Right now it is mostly a |
| 22 |
superficial change, and first step. |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
Next steps may be more controversial and have more of an impact. This really |
| 25 |
would not have any if nothing changes other than how people see Gentoo. Since |
| 26 |
this is how things are now, just most do not agree that it is such. This is |
| 27 |
bringing everyone into agreeance really, superficial change. |
