While we are switching the whole tree to Nix, I'd strongly advocate that:

1/ All ebuilds must be rewritten in whitespace [1]; that will have the 
great side-effect that all those pesky whitespace repoman checks will 
start to be meaningful finally.

2/ All eclasses must be rewritten in Piet [2] at the same time, so that 
we make dev's life a bit more colorful once the former step. is 
finished. There is already a platform-independent IDE ready for this 
purpose after all [3].

Since the benefits of the above are so obvious, I suppose this doesn't 
even require a GLEP and the porting work should therefore start 
immediately to make it in time for 2008.0.

Have a nice day. :P
