24 I've talked to the funtoo devs a few times about stealing their profile
25 idea. A few things need to be done to make this happen, mainly eselect,
26 catalyst, and repoman support. I can do the eselect and catalyst
27 changes myself, however, I'll require some help for the repoman support
28 most likely. I'll prototype this locally, see what I can make work, and
29 then see about making it usable for others to test.
