Neither option. Making 4 subprofiles is even worse than one toplevel=20 profile. The point is however that for a portage replacement there should=20 not be any profile changes needed (Or do you think that when pkgcore=20 comes about we should have current*3 profiles, just to support each=20 package manager?) Requiring a specific profile change just for a package manager is bad=20 design. Next to this technical argument, adding anything for paludis sends the=20 wrong message: =2D It says paludis is usable in gentoo. Which it isn't. =2D It says that paludis will be at some point supported by gentoo. Which decision has not been made yet and can not be made yet as paludis is not ready yet. =2D It says that other changes to specifically accomodate paludis will be made at later points. =2D It says that paludis is currently useable. It however is not. An installed system can not be converted to or from paludis. Paludis is not tested nor testable (requires conversion abilities). Paludis does not provide compatibility with current portage, therefore disqualifying itself as candidate for portage replacement.
