I'd rather like to see it in a new thread since it involves changes to the |

PMS. |

But it ties the ebuild closer to the metadata and if you get an ebuild |
| 15 |
without HOMEPAGE, DESCRIPTION and LICENSE you don't have any information |
| 16 |
about the package. I'd say that those vars are the minimal needed |
| 17 |
information for a package and should therefore being kept in the ebuild |
| 18 |
itself. But a longer description or a description in a different language |
| 19 |
can always be kept in metadata.xml as it is possible already. |
