So after you ignore my other stuff: Profiles are part of the PMS specification, so any changes that go in there have to be EAPI scheduled and cried over for a bit, and probably GLEPs and stuff also. I guess portage could informally support it prior to any such specification materialising, but it would have to be forbidden in the main tree until such a specification was defined, or the portage tree would become PMS in-compatible. -- Kent KENTNL - https://metacpan.org/author/KENTNL
