Re: [gentoo-dev] Unstable branch proposal - second round

[George Shapovalov <georges@its.caltech.edu>]

Well, the main idea I try to put up here is to expose new ebuilds as much as 
possible by pushing ALL submissions to the portage tree for people who want 
to see what's up on the table, while maintaining only the stable core access 
for people who only need thoroughly tested stuff. 
If something can be easily setup to simplify ebuild submission process this 
is fine and in fact does not change much the idea. bugs.gentoo.org is pretty 
simple IMHO, and majority of users are developers, while as far as I can tell 
linux newcomers are not uncommon to gentoo either.
Please see my new post for clarification. In short I feel that it is 
necessary to introduce multiple ebuild-state levels to better represent the 
"real-world life of a package", which will also help end-users to follow the 
stock and contribute to what he feels necessary even just voting for package 
he wants to see.
