Why not simply allow trustees to veto a council decision ? This does

This is very little red tape IMHO.
I believe that the trustees do not necessarily have any jurisdiction
over the council. They are concerned with legal type matters that
affect the foundation, not with technical and political things within
Gentoo itself. I could be wrong about this, but that's how I read it.
Actually much of the hardware that supports gentoo is owned by or lend
to the foundation. The trustees have legal control over that (while
infrastructure has technical control), so if it comes to a pissing
context, the foundation would probably win. It is not a situation anyone
would want to get into. There is no other formal relationship between
the foundation and the council.
