Oh lovely. - If noone has any strong reasonable objections, I'd like to add a |
| 5 |
$ians-playground profile to the tree. Furthermore I will start to keywording |
| 6 |
ebuilds with the new ~fridge keyword I just invented. |

How is paludis related to gentoo? Hardened and the other things you mentioned |
| 13 |
are gentoo projects. - Paludis is not. |

It's not about the size or the number of files. We have got enough - let's |
| 21 |
call it $stuff - in the tree. I'd really like to see valid and reasonable |
| 22 |
things added to the tree. - Adding things just because someone thinks it |
| 23 |
would be funny to add it to the tree can't be the way gentoo wants to go. |

Looking at the comment left for end-users on the paludis homepage [1] I'm |
| 28 |
still wondering why paludis is not package.mask'ed as it's known to break |
| 29 |
users systems. |
