Anyone have a reason why we can't start to put them in the tree?
Portage support is, I'm told, coming in a month or so, and other
package managers have supported glep42 for a while now. The format is
well specified by the GLEP, so compatibility shouldn't be an issue.
The one thing I can see needing to be decided first is an open question
in the glep: do we want to put the news items straight into gentoo-x86,
or a seperate repository that will be merged into the tree during the
cvs->rsync process?

>From reading the glep it's always been my impression that the latter
would be the case:
"The contents of this repository will automatically be merged with the
main rsync tree, placing the items in a metadata/news/ directory."

Uh, the glep says a separate repo, there is an svn news repo I had
created months ago when portage support was merged into trunk.
