why do you thing gentoo is everyone's first or only dist on their
network?
or even on any given box?

Hi!
I don't really use any of these anymore, so I'd love for someone else to
maintain them:
dev-python/pockets
dev-python/pycodestyle
dev-python/pynacl
Pockets has no revdeps, so ditching it entirely is also an option.
Pycodestyle is heavily intertwined with autopep8 and friends, so it

I don't think that's correct. The eclass will just use the already
existing UID then (except for the very few acct-user packa
