Portage just happens to be one of the package managers to implement the
specs afterwards. Since you agree with me about implementation taking
too long a pretty easy conclusion is that the portage team is already
understaffed so moving even more responsibility/work there makes the
whole process even slower. (Besides the fact of not including other
package manager devs in the process, but guessing from your earlier
comments you don't care about that.)
