Long term, we should have an independent API backend that tools can
query; not rewrite our tools every time users want to use them with a
different package manager.
Yes, a side effect of not having that is that a lot of tools would need
to be rewritten too if we would make a sudden move to pkgcore; or at
least, it would mean that Portage would still need to be around to serve
as an API, but that would also mean it still needs to be maintained.
