7 A big reason for not giving in to requests for either non-gentoo.org ebuild
8 trees 'affiliation' or less tightly controlled adding of ebuilds to the
9 central tree is that we're currently going through that famous reorganization
10 of our. The herds proposal/RFC was just yesterday finally confirmed by
11 drobbins and now we've begun discussing implementation (yes, the discussion
12 _will_ move to -dev when appropriate). Once we have that in place, we can
13 work on the various things related to faster/smoother ebuild submission
14 acceptance. So we'd rather be slower now, but better in the longer run of two
15 or three months from now, with a central ebuild tree that scales well and
16 accepts ebuilds more smoothly.
