I bookmarked the page once, but actually haven't read it up until now. |

But judging from your summary I'll catch up on that one soon. |

That's actually the same answer George gave and which I expected. |

And here for some off-topic: I started on writing a little document |
| 19 |
about Portage for myself, containing the most often heard proposals |
| 20 |
(like a database backend, p2p/bittorrent support etc.) and concerns |
| 21 |
(security, naming conflicts). If anyone else would find this useful |
| 22 |
(also I'm pretty sure Nick has most of the stuff already somewhere on |
| 23 |
his agenda), I could "polish" it and but it up on the new Wiki (Zach?). |
| 24 |
I don't really know if this could be useful for anybody, but if you |
| 25 |
think so let me know. |
