13 Note "at the moment". We want paludis to be a viable alternative to
14 Portage for most users, and part of that aim requires having an
15 available profile that doesn't bring Portage into the system set. An
16 "officially supported" package manager is a pretty vague term
17 anyway ... there's a group within Gentoo that will support it, and
18 groups that won't, as with any other part of the tree.
