Well, I find it sad that Gentoo is trying really hard to resist change -
although things have been improving lately.

Honestly, I really like the new QA team, we actually push things forward!
Sure, not everyone will always agree with us, but that is natural.

By the way, we did not take over. We were entrusted with this role, we
discuss everything with the community and try to take decisions that are
good for Gentoo. We don't have some secret ulterior motive to take over the
world through Gentoo.

For what it's worth, as a QA member I always vote with what I believe is
best for Gentoo in mind.

Cheers,
Alex
