The "stable" or "frozen" tree effort was not exactly abandoned so much |
| 2 |
as placed on a back burner to under go further research. There were some |
| 3 |
concerns from some of the devs as to how much additional work would be |
| 4 |
placed on them and their archs (some of the non-x86 archs have few |
| 5 |
developers and certainly don't need extra work piled on). Overall, there |
| 6 |
were a number of issues that needed to be worked out prior to any kind |
| 7 |
of attempt at starting such a project (officially). |

The original GLEP by Kurt Lieber remains up for review at |
| 10 |
http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/glep/glep-0019.html for those who are |
| 11 |
interested. |

(At the risk of making waves and upsetting people for making more work, |
| 14 |
I will say the following... If this is something that is important to |
| 15 |
you and how you use Gentoo (or would like to), I urge you to read GLEP |
| 16 |
19 and make some noise about this. The more users (and devs) that are |
| 17 |
interested in such a feature, the more likely such a feature will be |
| 18 |
worked on.) |

Hope this helps. |
