Lamer isn't in charge of Portage; I am. So just because Lamer rants, grumbles |
| 16 |
and screams "bloody okra" doesn't mean there is resistance to add these |
| 17 |
features. I want these features included, and I'm working on having others |
| 18 |
help me out with Portage so that Portage can be developed more aggressively. |
| 19 |
Once we start parallelizing our development properly, things will get done much |
| 20 |
faster. But it will take some time and effort (and volunteerism) for this to |
| 21 |
happen. |
