11 You may be surprised, but the word "Gentoo" doesn't even occur in the
12 main part (chapters 2 to 15) of the PMS document, except for one place
13 referring to "Gentoo's Catalyst tool".

15 Calling it "Gentoo repository" instead of "Portage tree" is purely a
16 matter of distro policy and has nothing to do with PMS.
