Long term, we should have an independent API backend that tools can |
| 8 |
query; not rewrite our tools every time users want to use them with a |
| 9 |
different package manager. |

Yes, a side effect of not having that is that a lot of tools would need |
| 12 |
to be rewritten too if we would make a sudden move to pkgcore; or at |
| 13 |
least, it would mean that Portage would still need to be around to serve |
| 14 |
as an API, but that would also mean it still needs to be maintained. |
