That's great; when you have found enough people willing and able to do that |
| 7 |
work specifically for Gentoo, including maintenance, updates, bug |
| 8 |
reporting, triage and fixes for the foreseeable future, then a reasonable |
| 9 |
proposal could be made. |

An alternative is to start and maintain an oficial overlay (note: it would |
| 12 |
also require enough people willing and able to do that work); if, as you |
| 13 |
suspect, s6 has enough qualities, it would attract a large number of users |
| 14 |
and then requesting a merge of the overlay to the official tree should be |
| 15 |
easier. |

But really, you are asking for other people to do the work in something |
| 18 |
that interests you. No matter how many Gentoo users could share your |
| 19 |
interest (which, BTW, I suspect there are not that many), if there are not |
| 20 |
enough of them *WILLING* and *ABLE* to do the work to satisfy that |
| 21 |
interest, then their number is irrelevant. |

That's how Free Software and Open Source works: someone has to be willing |
| 24 |
and able to do the work for anything to be implemented. If you are really |
| 25 |
interested, *you* start doing the work. |
