It's simpler. An alternatives framework was discussed openly and
publicly through @exherbo-dev. Discussing Exherbo development through
@gentoo-dev is impractical for both Gentoo and Exherbo.

Now, some Exherbo devs came up with an eselect fork, and Ciaran pointed
out in this thread that it could be useful for people looking for
improving eselect.

Anything else is irrelevant here.
