Both portage and the tree. I don't deny the fact that portage isn't |
| 12 |
the best way of using the tree but it's a lot better than many of the |
| 13 |
package managers (think other distros) out there. In fact, I've |
| 14 |
hardly felt as if portage was "limiting" me in any way for the past 2 |
| 15 |
years or so. It just works, and that's a good thing (TM). |

Alternative package managers are also good for Gentoo as a whole, but |
| 18 |
I don't think replacing portage should be our top priority. We |
| 19 |
officially support portage, and will do so for quite some time to come. |
