As ciaranm pointed out, thats completely untrue. For one thing, PMS documents |

how ebuilds are written(somewhat). PMS is used for things besides |

paludis/pkgcore/portage. For an example, see app-portage/gatt-svn. |

Gatt(written by mlangc) had to implement an atom parser. The only way this |

would be easily done was through PMS. So yes, PMS is useful besides the 3 |

package managers. |
