This idea was specifically mentioned. It was probably not the best |
| 5 |
method of doing this because it does not maintain the proper retention |
| 6 |
cycle(s) that are needed. (i.e. ebuilds are still phased out of a tree |
| 7 |
without check points / hard snapshots and versioning). |

This is certainly a quick way to get some of the functionality of a |
| 10 |
frozen tree, but it does not capture the other needs such as longevity |
| 11 |
of branches, etc. See this list's archives for a detailed (and extremely |
| 12 |
interesting) debate about this as Andrew said. |
