It doesn't need cleaning up. I wrote the tree-signing GLEPs a few years |

ago, and those were approved by the council, really they just need |
9 |
updating to a recent Portage and usage. |

They provide better support than just getting every developer to sign |
12 |
the Manifests, because to do so while eclasses are unsigned is a giant |
13 |
security hole. MetaManifest in the proposal covers that by getting the |
14 |
entire tree to a state of being signed. |

Yes. See layout.conf/repo.conf. Also controls usage of thin Manifests. |
