If enough developers are willing to put time and other resources in it, I'm all in favor. It is just this kind of ambitious projects that makes Gentoo different from the other distributions. We allow ambition and far-fetched visions to be formed and developed.=20 Many developers will probably see no real opportunity (for Gentoo or for themselves) in such a project. That's fine, but other developers who do should get the chance to try and see. Who knows? Let's just hope that those developers can take a "see, told ye" answer because they might receive that :) Wkr, Sven Vermeulen --=20 ^__^ And Larry saw that it was Good.
