I think that is a good idea. It's a perfect google SoC project as it has a |

clear boundary. Limited prerequisite knowledge is required, and it is |

something we would really benefit from. |

ps. Perhaps the SoC project could include fixing up the migration tools |
| 23 |
(for example including the hypothesis that all ebuilds for a package |
| 24 |
descend from eachother) and other coding necessary to make things work |
| 25 |
perfectly. |
