6 When there is no team? Answer that one yourself.

8 Said another way. Why should the body responsible for Gentoo over all care at
9 all if any areas of Gentoo are going neglected?
10
11 If any area is being neglected is anyone in roles of leadership doing anything
12 to correct such? Or just not carrying because others do not?

26 Which again means no one cares about Gentoo over all. No one cares to bring
27 all the pieces together.
