Just to reiterate what I had said on -dev, I think it is a good idea. |
| 14 |
I'm not either "for" or "against" it, I just think having only one set |
| 15 |
of packages to QA would make all our lives easier. I *can* see the need |
| 16 |
for 2 GRP sets, perhaps a x86 and a i686 set, simply to please the users |
| 17 |
that find GRP useful. |

The other take on this is gentoopix and what it will provide. If it can |
| 20 |
provide the same functionality as doing a GRP install, then I would say |
| 21 |
we need to get moving on gentoopix and get rid of GRP (but not before). |
