In general I agree with this approach. I think hpn is a bit more of a judgment call as it appears to be fairly mainstream and well-supported. I don't understand why it wasn't merged in, and perhaps the answer to that question might be informative. Still, big patch sets that aren't upstreamed should probably not be the default. Patches needed to integrate a package into Gentoo as a whole should of course be the default, since that is our whole reason for being. Rich
