What if the problem is too many devs instead of too few?  Slackware
Linux is a comparatively simple to maintain distribution, but ONE person
does it.  How many devs are on Gentoo now?  200? more?  A close knit
group of college students and bored professionals should be able to
maintain this distribution.

Slackware != Gentoo

On Gentoo we have to provide support for each possible combination of
USE flags, CFLAGS, and compiler versions on 32-bit and 64-bit systems,
on little endian and big endian systems, and with mix of stable and
testing packages. Slackware just has to get things to compile and work
once.
