7 It's actually been very stable and usable for a long time. It's not, and never
8 will be a 100% drop in replacement for everything baselayout provides, but

15 As Doug mentioned earlier, my git repo is available in an ebuild.
16 Why haven't I done a snapshot or release yet? Well, I have one last feature to

19 system. I'll be doing this on my NetBSD box next week hopefully.
