I think that would make sense. We don't have enough resources for such |
| 8 |
fun and overcoming PMS burdens has been a major concern for everyone who |
| 9 |
is looking to improve basic functionality. In the end, people rather go |
| 10 |
for eclass solutions or just give up. That has brought us to the current |
| 11 |
discussion, to base.eclass and to the multilib eclasses with a very |
| 12 |
painful way of migration. Mind that I am an author of one of those |
| 13 |
eclasses as well, so I'm not generally objecting. But it's a fact that |
| 14 |
portage multilib was held back basically by useless PMS politics, so |
| 15 |
that we can support alternative PMs like paludis. |

And that's not the only thing that is annoying about PMS and the |
| 18 |
politics behind it. |

Gentoo has become very slow in terms of decision making and progress. |
| 21 |
GLEPs to improve security are "not implemented" for _years_ and people |
| 22 |
have no idea whether we need a PMS section for that or not. It wasn't |
| 23 |
really discussed and not one bothers anymore. |
