> Title: New net-firewall/shorewall all-in-one package

$ echo "New net-firewall/shorewall all-in-one package" | wc -c
46

The glep says the title must be 44 chars, max.  You're over by a couple 
chars.

Abbreviating "package" to "pkg" would do it... but to my eye/ear seems a 
bit less formal than desired.

What about:

net-firewall/shorewall now a single package


wc -c says 44. =:^)

But I'm not wedded to either idea; they're just what I came up with off 
the top of my head.  If someone has a better idea...


(FWIW I had a /terrible/ time finding that glep on the new website to 
double-check, and it's good I did as I thought it was 42, but that's a 
gripe for a new thread...)
