Cascading profiles form a tree with N nodes. Some of these nodes are |
| 11 |
abstract in the sense that they are not directly usable. Say that leaves |
| 12 |
M possible profiles. To have paludis be on par with portage, each of |
| 13 |
these M profiles would have a leaf added for paludis. The same holds for |
| 14 |
pkgcore and for any other package manager. This would mean that we have |
| 15 |
N+2M profiles. With a paludis and pkgcore toplevel profile this would |
| 16 |
even be worse and amount to approximately 3N profiles. |

In the leaf version, all M paludis specific profiles are equal. |
