29 I don't see the conflict of interest is great enough so it can't be
30 managed. If Petteri is closely involved in a devrel decision that is
31 appealed, he can excuse himself playing a part in the council
32 consideration of the matter.

34 The single point of failure is a bigger issue for me. e.g. Petteri
35 is suddenly no longer able to contribute to Gentoo at all.
