15 I suppose I should have mentioned that the whole reason we don't already
16 have this feature is because we can't see anyway around the fact that it
17 will take a fairly major filesystem layout change in /var/db/. In fact,
18 this feature may not arrive in Portage 2.0 and almost certainly not
19 before we get 1.4 out the door.

21 I welcome any python coders to step up to the plate to help us address
22 this problem (and prove my timeline estimate incorrect), as the is but
23 one feature in my critical path for cross-compiling integration.
