Provision should be made for future ports that require more than two |
17 |
keywords. There's no particular reason to artificially limit this to |
18 |
two at this stage. |

Examples of how this lot is to be used in DEPEND= etc would be good for |
21 |
clarity. |

You should clarify the env map behaviour when multiple matches all |
24 |
occur (first match, last match or merge?). |

|
26 |
You should probably clarify whether the map is part of Portage itself |
27 |
or in the tree. If it has to be part of Portage, explain why. |

There're various English issues too where things don't scan clearly to |
30 |
a native reader, but it's probably not worth fixing them at this stage. |
31 |
Let me know when you reach the point where using precise language is |
32 |
important and I'll make a list. |
