1 does stage[123] [in|ex]clusion play a role in the "sys-" decision making?

3 if the portage tree grew nodal depth of namespace rather than just the
4 breadth, gentoo could be a leaner meaner vestige of its former nimble
5 self by having domains of visibility and overlays of decreasing
6 stability for which the sync bandwidth is committed.

8 presently regardless of keywords,all clients see all packages. if you
9 don't like it, you have to run your own infrastructure.

11 The fringe packages will always be under-maintained but a travelling
12 salesman algorithm for migrating packages on portage mirror resources
13 would certainly garner a glut of proposals.
