Hey Chris, |

I pretty much agree with you in regards to themes. Without strict |
| 4 |
rules, we can suddenly have floods of ~300 theme ebuilds and they'll |
| 5 |
all get added to the tree. I'd suggest another exception: |
| 6 |
|

#3 It's ok to add themes to Portage if they are part of an official |
| 8 |
theme collection for a particular package. That way we have all the |
| 9 |
official themes - everything else would be up to the user to install. |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
Portage was really designed for executable software, not for arbitrary |
| 12 |
collections of binary data (themes, ezines, etc.) Not that |
| 13 |
collecting/indexing those things is bad, just not really what Portage |
| 14 |
is aimed at. |
