4 I think a cool function [which I didn't see in the latest portage release] is
5 a "snapshot" and restore set of functionality. e.g. you can snapshot the
6 current install set and later restore (by adding/removing packages) as
7 required.

9 I know I could have used this functionality before. Like when I tried out
10 GNOME and decided on KDE.... I still have GNOME code lying around. There's
11 probably a dozen other dependencies lying around from packages I tried out...
12
13 Also any plans to optimize the portage files? 80k small files amounts to huge
14 waste of space.
