Gentoo is known not to be for *everybody* (unless he/she is willing to learn & quite stubborn to use it). These ebuilds *are* already in Bugzilla, and for some there're people interested in maintaining/improving them. IMHO this is better then an ebuild/s which seats for 2-3 years and is of *outstanding quality*. The world is in motion not static. The overall concern (for me) with 'sunrise' & similar is the availability (in advance) of some *good/understandable* information about some consequences in using such project/s. Just a warning no more. All this on main docs page (to be visible). E.g. some of the current *semi/official* overlays mess with the versions in the *main tree* so i have to mask/unmask things to do what i want (i accept this). Just my point of view, no more.
