They need testing asap since they are planned to be used in the |
| 8 |
.3-release. I wouldn't reccomend unexperienced users to use them, |
| 9 |
especially not for new installations. I switched one of my boxen to |
| 10 |
use a cascaded profile and except some reinstallations after switching |
| 11 |
I didn't experience any problems yet. According to carpaski, portage is |
| 12 |
completely able to handle them, but some external tools like ufed for |
| 13 |
example can't handle them yet. |
