Weren't we just talking about people proposing work for other projects |

without consulting them... ;] |

Anyway, catalyst 2.0, which is what the current HEAD version of catalyst |
| 10 |
will become once it is released, has a "stage4" target, which is capable |
| 11 |
of adding or subtracting packages from a stage3, or rebuilding them with |
| 12 |
new USE flags. |

Added with the recently added portage 2.0.51.22, which does proper USE |
| 15 |
flag checking when using both --usepkg and --newuse, we can easily |
| 16 |
create a rescue tarball. I don't think that catalyst2 will be ready in |
| 17 |
time for the next release, however, as we were not planning on rocking |
| 18 |
the boat quite that much for the release. |
