11 My understanding is that GURU only exists for packages that don't exist
12 in the primary tree. So it addresses the new-package backlog, but not
13 the version bump backlog for packages that exist in the primary tree.
14
15 A separate tree for version bumps probably creates it's own issues
16 though, since revisions would probably start conflicting. (Gentoo: -r3;
17 User Improves: -r4; Gentoo doesn't accept -r4, but needs to issue an
18 unrelated -r4 => conflict.)
