Yes; we won't be adding the high-speed database option until later. Our |
| 12 |
immediate priority is to optimize our existing algorithms and techniques |
| 13 |
and enhance Portage functionality to provide better QA tools to our |
| 14 |
developers. Since this requires continual changes to our sources, it |
| 15 |
wouldn't make sense to move to a compiled language at this point either. |

Portage 2.0.2 is maturing nicely. |
