How certain are you of this guess? How long is long enough? Mostly? |

At the moment, it beats mostly on our efforts to it; and in the near |
14 |
future, it'll need to adapt further to newer EAPIs as well as further |
15 |
bugs and other complexities in the Portage trees. Otherwise you'll get |
16 |
a lot of "we can't continue because they stopped developing Portage". |

Hence that's why it comes up every now and then as a subject, hence |
19 |
someone finally made the call to reinforcement, ...; so, it won't have |
20 |
to continue beating on its own at all. |
