The Science Team is very interested in this approach as it solves a
fundamental problem of BLAS[1] selection in Gentoo.  After the review,
we plan to land the 2 eclass-es into Gentoo main repository and start
ebuilds migration.

Your comments on the implementation are crucial to realize that.

Thanks!
