Arch and Gentoo are still tiny fractions of the linux install base (which is itself a tiny fraction of users), and are mostly irrelevant.

Unless you feel that those that write software have more influence in the direction of the community than those who just apt-get/yum install it.

Then they are a small fraction of users but are not irrelevant.

Irrelevant for what, to whom? Everything is a tiny fraction of something -- are you saying that value is purely a function of popularity?
