Last week, the Gentoo project entered the lowest point of its 7-year old existence. Yes, this is the same Daniel Robbins who founded Gentoo Linux back in the year 2000 and who left the project in 2004 for personal reasons. He officially re-joined the Gentoo development team two weeks ago – only to resign a few days later. The reason? Strong personal attacks by some of the current developers of the project.
If you happen to be a Gentoo user like myself, does this cause reason to be alarmed? Not really. Though Daniel Robbins has proved to be a noteworthy coder, Gentoo has survived a while without him. It’s too bad that so many developers hold such a grudge.
