+1 I see Tom being on a lot of peoples black list. He's burning bridges. I been here since 2003 or 2004 if I recall correctly. When I first came here, I conformed my settings to what the people on this list wanted and expected. I was told the same thing people are telling Tom now. Failure to listen and adapt is not going to go well for Tom. It seems Tom wants everyone else to change because he refuses too and on top of that, he thinks no one will do anything if he doesn't. I'll give this a day or two. If it doesn't change, bye Tom. That won't just be for this list but also every Gentoo list you are on including -dev.
