| 5 | Apart from its other more common uses [1,2], "PMS" in a Gentoo context |
| 6 | stands for the "Package Manager Specification" [3] and the project |
| 7 | associated with it [4]. So please do not use the same abbreviation |
| 8 | for the package manager, as this will lead to confusion. Especially, |
| 9 | we must often distinguish between the specification and its |
| 10 | implementation in package managers, and using the same term for both |
| 11 | will not help with this. |
