With regard to GLEP 56. I've posted the necessary DTD changes, some 
documentation changes (the old documentation patches need to be updated 
to whats currently in CVS because some commits occurred between when 
they were created and now), and the repoman patches to the bug [1].

My patches to repoman have already been committed to Portage trunk so 
they'll appear in 2.2_rc2. pkgcore is being updated this weekend for 
pcheck to support the new syntax according to ferringb. No one has 
gotten back to me on paludis so I'm not sure about that status.

With regard to the DTD, it's a small change to allow the <cat> tag, the 
rest are there already. As far as the docs team knows, neysx is the only 
one that can commit to them. He's gone until September. So we might need 
someone from infra to give another doc's team member the access to make 
that commit.

Betelgeuse is committing the documentation patches as I update them for 
the Gentoo Development Handbook. Halcy0n made a few requested updates to 
the Gentoo Developer Manual. So that front is moving forward well.

I'll be working with robbat2 when he gets some free time this week on 
getting the infra script I hacked up in place.

All and all I'd say we're moving forward on marking this GLEP as Final 
pretty soon.

Biggest project left for me is to copy the current use.local.desc bits 
into the respective metadata.xml's of each package. If maintainers want 
to help, that'd be awesome.
