13 From what I've read of the PMS, it currently only describes the input
14 format it would accept (namely the format for ebuild files and their
15 contents). This question can be delayed until the PMS defines the
16 operation of the package manager, including but not limited to the
17 recording of installed package data. If the package managers do not
18 agree on which packages are installed or how to uninstall them, then
19 they are not yet interchangeable.

21 I apologize if this point has already been raised elsewhere in the
22 thread. I try not to get involved in threads like this, but
23 accidentally read a reply and thought this might be a valuable response.
