6 As ciaranm pointed out, thats completely untrue. For one thing, PMS documents
7 how ebuilds are written(somewhat). PMS is used for things besides
8 paludis/pkgcore/portage. For an example, see app-portage/gatt-svn.
9 Gatt(written by mlangc) had to implement an atom parser. The only way this
10 would be easily done was through PMS. So yes, PMS is useful besides the 3
11 package managers.
