The idea is welcome, and a Gentoo Server project (with its implications |
| 11 |
for portage) has been discussed and even started (AFAIK) a number of |
| 12 |
times. Whether or not it would actually be added to portage is another |
| 13 |
matter, no promises (nor as a user could I give them), of course, but the |
| 14 |
idea is not to complicate any such possibilities with an incompatible |
| 15 |
license. |

Certainly, such projects have been the beginnings of serious advances in |
| 18 |
any number of open source projects... |
