That's certainly a lot more feasible. However, it would have to be marked in |
| 14 |
some way that portage would recognize, and that marking could still likely be |
| 15 |

This still allows the social engineering attack. Someone can get a binpkg |
| 18 |
created with quickpkg of someone else's baselayout and then remove the marking |
| 19 |
that would make portage gripe. |
