7 Personally, I see C/C++ as an option that really should be considered not for
8 being widely known, easy or readable, but because it would allow Portage to
9 depend on *only* glibc, which could mean that there would only be 2 critical
10 packages that could break it and even then, staticly linking Portage could
11 remove the glibc dependency (I think).
12 Might it be a good idea to maintain a minimal Portage in C for recovery
13 purposes even if portage-ng decides to go with another language?
