The "roadmap" was, indeed, created, and discussed in length on the |
| 11 |
gentoo-dev mailing list. Take a look at GLEP 11 at glep.gentoo.org, |
| 12 |
and search one of the gentoo-dev list archives to see the entire |
| 13 |
discusion. |

If you have a better idea, please do feel free to write your own GLEP. |

Very little in Gentoo is ever set in stone, so if your idea is better |
| 17 |
than the current system, and you or somebody else is willing to provide |
| 18 |
the code to implement it, then the odds are high that it will be |
| 19 |
adopted. |
