It seems to me to be an attempt to move what is obviously the package |
| 7 |
manager's job into the tree, and making it far more complex than it |
| 8 |
needs to be in the process. The necessary metadata is already in |
| 9 |
ebuilds, and has even been changed to a more depend-like syntax for |
| 10 |
exactly the purpose of making license handling easier; why duplicate it |
| 11 |
in so many places? |

The necessary package manager support isn't even all that difficult, so |
| 14 |
"it's not yet been implemented" seems like a poor excuse for offloading |
| 15 |
the work onto every single developer instead. |
