Where gcc-4.2.0_alpha is concerned, the important thing is that while it is not supported at the moment, it _will_ be supported in the future. The same is not being said for paludis at the moment - the paludis people are not claiming paludis will become official; I think everyone would agree it's too early to be thinking about that now. > Deprecated profiles are considered unsupported, The key point there is that they're deprecated - deprecated means "will be removed". That means anyone using them should be aware they will be removed at some point. Again, that's not what Paludis is about (if it was, the paludis team wouldn't be asking to put stuff in the tree!). > as are most of the gentoo-alt profiles.

However these are development profiles for actual supported profiles - in other words the stuff in the development profiles is expected to become supported at some point (either by inclusion or rejection). Again, not the case with paludis as it is currently being proposed. --=20 Kevin F.
