That pertains to hobbyists. I’m purely a hobbyist, filling timek; I
work on what I enjoy. Anyone who argues with that can keep it to
themselves.

But we are talking, instead, about profit and non-profit organizations
that have goals and in some cases ask for our donations. Whose goals
are being achieved? Are they the FSF’s, or are they Red Hat’s? How
much do these goals overlap? Is one organization’s work hindering the
stated goals of the other? Is Freedesktop.org serving the community
well, or is it dysfunctional?  Etc., etc. And are _many_ (not all)
Gentoo users caught in the middle of something they do not want to be
caught in?

(My system still is working with OpenRC, so I am not sure how much
caught in the middle I am. It is not time to panic.)
