How certain are you of this guess? How long is long enough? Mos= tly?

At the moment, it beats mostly on our efforts to it; and in the near
future, it'll need to adapt further to newer EAPIs as well as further bugs and other complexities in the Portage trees. Otherwise you'll get<= br> a lot of "we can't continue because they stopped developing Portag= e".

Hence that's why it comes up every now and then as a subject, hence
someone finally made the call to reinforcement, ...; so, it won't have<= br> to continue beating on its own at all.

<= br>
As usual, it is nigh impossible to force people to work on a = specific project. I would encourage radhermit to ask for assistance if he t= hinks he needs it. dol-sen asked because he is working on a bunch of projec= ts and knows he cannot maintain portage by himself. Even if the council wer= e to decree that portage be frozen, I doubt that would actually halt contri= butions.
