We've had a lot of political systems which try to implement a design which weeds out both the mediocre, and the excellent, leaving us with the average all have been failures.

r advocated is abuse. This sort of behavior simply needs to stop. Using bugs.gentoo.org to attack Funtoo, which utilizes Portage, in the manner which has been done usurps the Gentoo Council's authority, the Portage devs, Funtoo, and most importantly our ability to innovate. And hell, if we're not going to innovate, lets all please pack up and go home. Andrew D Kirch Funtoo Andrew D Kirch Funtoo.org

Ciaran, I've talked with the pkgcore people and they don't use the EAPI's (or PMS) in the first place. This essentially leaves you writing documents you're requiring for paludis support. As this seems to be mostly a PM issue, it should be taken elsewhere. To that end, here is a gentoo-portage-d
