he founded gentoo to scratch his own itch, ran it for good long while, and handed it off. he founded funtoo based on gentoo to scratch his own itch. So he's been through the search handoff process before.
my guess is that funtoo is not popular enough to have a community from which to recruit a bdfl.
gentoo is not for everybody, but it was a major achievement, and he did it. funtoo was a little sideproject more tailored to his personal interests. there is simply no reason for so many people here to be criticizing him. sheesh.

- usr1106 2y agoAh, that gives some perspective that he is actually the founder of the much more widely known Gentoo. I don't think that had been mentioned elsewhere at the time.
