Portage is completely python, yes, but you cannot know what the future will |

Creating the initscripts in Python will force you to stick with Python as a |
| 11 |
primary dependency, even if the Gentoo developers someday would say "hey, |
| 12 |
perhaps we can make a Gentoo-project with a C-coded Portage". |
