Consider that Judge Breyer only gave Ed Rosenthal time served when the probation report asked for 3+ years and the DOJ wanted 7 years, and perhaps we can put Breyer on the list of federal judges who don't fly off the handle at sentencing.
The push for sentencing guidelines actually came out of the Bay Area, where a dealer could get probation or 20 years depending on which judge caught the case. Now it's fairer....they all get 30 years.
