That looks interesting... but I don't think we should wait until git |
| 12 |
migration is done. Well, since I joined at 2009 I am earing about git |
| 13 |
migration and it's never done, then, I would do that job (even manually |
| 14 |
with CVS and tons of commits) without waiting for git. |

Yeah, that is another option... but I think that it can be worse for the |
| 23 |
users as, instead of they reading a news item informing about tons of |
| 24 |
packages being now moved to testing (or all their tree) and they |
| 25 |
preparing to that, they will start to get portage errors from time to |
| 26 |
time depending on their installed packages :/ |
