The assumptions I am making are clearly not involving giving a user |
| 9 |
population root access. I just point to the lack of tools to maintain |
| 10 |
semi-frozen trees and to automate software updates on a large enterprise |
| 11 |
desktop deployment, and try to see if this gathers interest. I fail to |
| 12 |
see where I need to give wheel to user. |

My position would rather be that workstations don't need a portage tree |
| 15 |
or an emerge command. A software deployment server could push package |
| 16 |
installation on workstations and keep track of what's installed where |
| 17 |
and with which configuration files. |
