+1 ; easy access to powerful machines for Gentoo development would be great

Even better: improve security beyond having different accounts on the
same otherwise shared host. Virtualization / containerization could
really help there.

Similarly, making it easier for individual / small groups of people to
host infrastructure projects, possibly using Kubernetes or similar,
could encourage a lot of innovation in that space - such as web apps to
facilitate package maintenance, recruiting, etc. I'd stress the
importance of a _standardized_ way to deploy containerized (and securely
sandboxed) apps.

+1 ; concentrating resources and effort sounds great
