I don't see LWN as "publicising Robbins' self-serving propaganda", but rather making its readers aware of current news events and issues in the Linux/Open Source community. And, while I agree that Gentoo can (and presumably will) restart its charter, I think that the lapse in the charter is symptomatic of a bigger issue at Gentoo - and LWN is simply reporting what it considers newsworthy.

Also, I'm not trying to defend Daniel Robbins; from what I've read about him, he's a brilliantly talented developer who has trouble getting along with others.
