Er I thought the whole point of a portage tree on the system was to allow people to mess about with stuff.. Even if not, is there any real conflict in doing both; ie rearchitect on an offline version, test properly and then switch to new branch? However long releng need is however long they need aiui. After the stress of the last few months, is it really such a big deal if there's no 2007.1- it's not like anyone needs to reinstall is it? Plus the difference between portage in 2006.0 and 2006.1 was a major bonus for users. It might be simpler just to allow all the good stuff that's being worked on now, and has already been discussed on this list, time to come thru and bed down. After all, users only look stupid when we try and install stuff that doesn't Just Work? especially after we've raved about Gentoo, and got some poor schmuc^H^H^H^H *ahem* gained permission from the relevant department to install ``rootkits behind the firewall''.[1] Speaking of stuff that's holding you back, what's going on with the PMS? Aiui several changes to portage await EAPI=1 and i don't see any sign of EAPI=0 being finalised. The cia project page shows no commits since April.

Makes a lot of sense when you lay it out like that. Is there a namespace issue with profiles/{libc,arch,kernel}? [1] `Do you want to install this program?
