Those 3 or 4 cursed/console apps vs. all GUI or all non-enduser console
apps, big point to bring up.
'Op alle slakken zout leggen' in ye olde dutch. You shouldn't be pushing
to define everything on every level, i thought that was what this whole
TLP thing was good for. Better to have them just handled by some mail
group or irc group, we're getting into the herds realm here. Pine is
part of net-mail herd (or something), that is part of TLP Desktop i
assume. So in the end we're on the same line. Getting into details
again. Who brought this up.

I don't know if this is all a good idea, this will result in herds
maintaining packages for different TLP or in case this isn't allowed in
herds not maintaining packages they have always maintained or are the
major users of. TLP's concerning ebuild groups (as mentioned above
-base, -server, etc) should be defined by control over herds, not over
individual packages.
