While I like it for ease of rapid development, conceptually, this |

Presently, if you add a new patch, you need to edit an ebuild, which |
| 11 |
provides a strong hint that you might need to revbump the ebuild per |
| 12 |
development best practices: |

If this eclass was used, there would no longer be revbumps, and you |
| 16 |
could not revert to the old version simply by reinstalling the prior |
| 17 |
version. |

Is there a way we can get the best of both worlds? |
