As I've explained in my post to that forum thread [1], you have to factor in the "silent majority" that welcomes the change and does not express it publicly. A forumor mailing list thread tends to attract a "vocal minority", which tends to bias the discussion (or voting results) in way that does not give a fair statistical representation of the gentoo population as a whole (it excludes the "silent majority"). It's part of human nature that those who are displeased with the changed more likely to speak up than those who welcome the change.
