Yes, however, the "business" of Gentoo is to develop software, not to run a |
| 21 |
business. So the analogy is correct. The Council should be focused on the |
| 22 |
business of software development, and the Trustees look out for the |
| 23 |
long-term health of the project, which includes taking care of annoying |
| 24 |
stuff like real business matters. |
