Sounds fun to me; it's not that important to have those listed also on the |
| 8 |
same day, is it? I mean, it's not difficult to find out what major packages |
| 9 |
were released within 24h afterwards (just skim through the forums :) but |
| 10 |
having this information available the next second might pose some |
| 11 |
difficulties. |

How would you receive the necessary information? From the packager himself? |

We might want to have our strengths documented clearly (but concise) |
| 19 |
somewhere. The "About Gentoo" page is a good location (recently updated with |
| 20 |
Gentoo history). |
