An equally likely meaning (and the one I read into it) is that it might |
| 17 |
benefit a particular segment of Gentoo users, but as it's not the |
| 18 |
currently default/official package manager, it'd be a relatively small |
| 19 |
segment, made proportionally even smaller by the fact that these bindings |
| 20 |
would at least in the near term impact an even smaller segment of /that/ |
| 21 |
segment. |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
A segment of an already minor segment (certainly currently, tho that |
| 24 |
/may/ eventually change), not likely to be something that can reasonably |
| 25 |
be characterized as benefiting Gentoo as a whole, at least in the near to |
| 26 |
medium term, and beyond that, well, things remain up for grabs. |
