Just to reiterate what I had said on -dev, I think it is a good idea. I'm not either "for" or "against" it, I just think having only one set of packages to QA would make all our lives easier. I *can* see the need for 2 GRP sets, perhaps a x86 and a i686 set, simply to please the users that find GRP useful. The other take on this is gentoopix and what it will provide. If it can provide the same functionality as doing a GRP install, then I would say we need to get moving on gentoopix and get rid of GRP (but not before).
