It isn't though. This is just noise. It's a good conversation thread for HN, but it has absolutely zero influence on Gentoo policy. The only way it'll be revisited is if active Gentoo developers and/or contributors really start to push with a justification to get it changed and they agree to revisit discussing it again. I can tell you every maintainer has heard the line: 'I would have contributed if you did X thing'.
