9 I think this should be in an ebuild. You mentioned that it's only needed
10 ONCE, but it's needed ONCE for everytime one install gentoos, along the
11 same lines as mirrorselect. A couple of years from now, do we want users
12 to have to dig through several dozen old news items to get this tool?

14 I know the ebuild's a bit of extra work but then the python issues can also
15 be properly handled. And bugs can be properly handled, etc etc.
