27 In my opinion, having something like "Prefix Portage" underemphasizes
28 the amount of effort that has gone into the building up the actual
29 Prefix package repository, whereas "Gentoo Prefix" encompasses the
30 excellent work that goes into both the portage-prefix branch and the
31 packages.

33 Just my $0.02.
