Yes, I can see that.

Good idea; let's look forward to it.
Meanwhile, I'll repeat an earlier question: how can I find out what binpkgs are
available for a given category/package? Someone posted a way of doing that a
few months ago, but I didn't write it down. I know I can see whether one is
available for a certain set of USEs, but it would take a month of Sundays to
go through all the possibilities in the case of Firefox.
