Regardless of how we might want to get rid of m-n packages, I do wonder about who commits them, and why. For example, while looking into the list of m-n packages, I also found dev-python/remoteobjects-99999999, which was also entered into the tree by vapier as m-n. vapier, what's the rationale behind including these packages in the tree? And if you need them, why can't you maintain them? (I'm asking this as a member of the Python project, where we probably wouldn't mind picking up some python m-n packages.) Cheers, Dirkjan
