Another, probably clearer example is portage-NG, which never left the |
| 18 |
vaporware stage and IMHO caused some complications wrt portage |
| 19 |
development in 2003/2004 as many things were slated to be "something |
| 20 |
for portage-NG" by Daniel, therefore not implemented back then and |
| 21 |
harder to implement when we finally realized that portage-NG would |
| 22 |
never exist (though we probably should have known better when we heard |
| 23 |
the plans which were quite ... interesting). |
