The latest Gentoo flamewar started as a discussion on the gentoo-dev mailing list about topics for the March Gentoo Council meeting. Gentoo founder Daniel Robbins, who had rejoined the Gentoo project earlier that week after leaving in April, 2004, seemed keen on arguing with Gentoo contributor Ciaran McCreesh on whether the Package Manager Specification (PMS) is an official Gentoo project. After the discussion became heated, Robbins says that he's going to "look for a way to remove Ciaran from gentoo-dev" and then later says he doesn't want to be associated with Gentoo after all.

The rest of the gentoo devs refused to do so. Then Daniel Robbins quit the project.
