What about news?  It has been implemented but ran into a bug (portage 
hadn't fully implemented the news reader, IIRC) the first time someone 
tried to actually deploy it.  Is that too controversial or has portage 
still no full implementation?

I'm sure you've not forgotten about it and not pressin' if it's not 
ready, as I agree with the "release early, release often" idea, just 
askin', as I've not seen anything on it in awhile and as a user, the 
feature would be nice to have. =8^)

Or is it part of API-0 now, and implemented, just not yet used?
