Karl, Josh, and friends, |

Given the furball that is erupting on gentoo-dev, I think that you need |
| 4 |
to make a very decisive point and make it quickly. I therefore recommend |
| 5 |
that you go ahead and merge all the migration packages to the official |
| 6 |
portage tree *now*. |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
They will all be in ~arch, of course. Where absolutely necessary you can |
| 9 |
hard-mask, but I think that a slightly less than perfect migration now |
| 10 |
is better than getting sucked into the overlay madhouse. That |
| 11 |
conversation is long beyond redemption, and rather than wasting energy |
| 12 |
getting caught up trying to swim alongside it, just merge your work and |
| 13 |
let a wider audience participate in finishing the job. |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
If manual action is necessary during the upgrade process, well, that's |
| 16 |
certainly nothing people are unprepared to encounter. This is Gentoo |
| 17 |
after all. |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
Now that I think of it, this is, after all, "release early, release |
| 20 |
often". So pull the trigger, baby: freeze over, merge to HEAD. |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
Good luck, and thanks for all the hard work. |
