Then, do something very smart where the page automatically assembles a list of those packages, and explains how they have been taken under Gentoo's developers' wings. :) We could perhaps do something similar for no-herd in metadata.xml... make herds.xml actually list the no-herd herd with some kind of explanation... Kind regards, JeR
