I don't think we have direction in a Chief Architect sense. I believe it |

has some drawbacks. |

Could you elaborate more how do you see leadership in a volunteer |

organization like Gentoo? |

I'd be all for such technical contribution, which I see would be much |
| 16 |
more effective having direct commit rights. |

I'm not sure if it's really all-or-nothing there. It may be feasible to |
| 19 |
become a Gentoo developer and make Java on Gentoo great again, but put |
| 20 |
aside the attempt to fix everything you disagree with in Gentoo at least |
| 21 |
for a while (even where I think you do have a good point). As just an |
| 22 |
observer, I don't see both things being possible at this moment though. |
