Michał due the the alpha state of this module and continued
interpersonal and somewhat "toxic" behaviour from you (see comment #2
in that bug you reference above). We (Zac, Alexander and myself) have
decided to remove this module from portage at this time. We feel it is
best that you develop it as an independent installable portage module.
This will allow you to develop and release it as you see fit.

When the code matures we will consider including it as part of the main
portage package provided the code meets the teams QA standards.


Also, as an independent package, you could make a pkgcore sync module
for it as well and add IUSE flags for each package manager.
