There were several if I recall. <python> They picked mine out of
thousands, the others were all too flat. </python> They still made a
bunch of changes before committing it, but kept some of the
auto-install features. Now I'm arguing with them over using inetd
instead of xinetd by default. :P

I commend you for using Gentoo in a server, glad I'm not the only
one. ;] I've got, er, 3 Gentoo boxes as servers already. Excellent
distro, but change control is a major issue. No updates on anything
unless required.

At this point, I'm very uncertain what could have changed to make
xinetd fuss. Let us know what fixes it.
