10 Well we can't really compare it to SDEPEND (which is implemented in
11 Paludis, for kdebuild-1 and exheres-0) without at least a half-arsed
12 implementation.

14 Also, speaking as someone who *has* implemented this kind of thing, I
15 have extreme doubts as to the viability of the proposal. So I'd be
16 extremely wary of voting in favour of it until we've been able to have
17 a play with an implementation.
