17 Yes, this is planned. I wanted to first get a reaction from the folks
18 most involved in portage to assess that this would be a good route to
19 go. Once that's established, then I'll toss a nice email to -dev
20 stating "Here's how things are going to work in the future", so no one
21 is caught 100% surprised (though, as with all major things, there will
22 be someone that states 'huh, I didn't hear about that). So it mainly
23 comes down to:
24
25 1) People need to be made aware
26 2) Agreement of the portage development team is essential, as #2 means
27 declaring a release, and.. well quite frankly it's their package, they
28 decide how a release goes.
