Yeah, as I didn't intend to actually use paludis, so that's a rather special use case that doesn't need further action (only mentioned it due to the misassumption of news.eselect being part of eselect already) > > Until that is fixed I'd say that the glep 42 news facilities may not > > be used in repositories that are primarily used by portage users > > (and that includes gentoo-x86). >=20 > Why make everyone else suffer?

Well, the whole decision process was based on the assumption that portage (even if it's just trunk) has proper support for glep 42, and now it turns out that assumption was incorrect. So before we puruse in using this facility even more we should correct that mistake and have at least an agreed implementation plan and someone dedicated to do the relevant work (instead of making more implicit assumptions that someone will just do it in time eventually). If all works out well it might even be done in a few hours, so it wouldn't be a big problem. If it takes more than a few days we know something went wrong and can do whatever is necessary to correct it.
