Usage and support of paludis would be a lot greate= r=20 it it could work (with limited feature perhaps) on a portage compatible VDB= =2E=20 You might work with the portage team to have portage be aware of extensions= =20 in the VDB and handle them smartly (ignore them?). At that point paludis=20 could offer extra features while being still portage compatible.
