Not Portage's current functionality. The subset of Portage's current |

PMS isn't Paludis. Paludis is an independent implementation (and the |
| 23 |
only completely independent implementation) of PMS, and it's necessary |

to have such an independent implementation to ensure that PMS is a |
| 25 |
specification rather than a description of one particular program. |
