11 The current baselayout is there to fulfill a different purpose than what
12 Gentoo-embedded aims for. There is a lot of overhead and bulkiness with
13 the current baselayout for an embedded project. Just think of the
14 dependencies it has on gawk, bash, and some other stuff. Also I am
15 wondering whether the current init scripts are too much for an embedded
16 system. Maybe a much simpler init system is needed for embedded. Dont
17 know.

19 What I think this project should aim though, is to somehow categorize
20 and have subprojects which in turn each of them would require different
21 sets of baselayout (full, lite), libc (glibc, uClibc/dieltlibc), etc...
