Paludis isn't completely compliant either.  Not sure what you're referring to 
about portage and pkgcore... if you mean kdebuild, then a) the Council has 
decided that that won't be part of the official approved version, and b) PMS 
only describes what kdebuild is, it doesn't say that any package manager has 
to implement it.  As long as it's not being used in the main tree, that's up 
to the package manager maintainers, and what they think is most beneficial to 
their users.

If you mean something else, feel free to file bugs, it could well be just an 
oversight.
