I'm not sure. From the list archive, the most recent relevant patch set seems to be: [edk2] [Patch 0/6] Add multiple workspaces feature http://news.gmane.org/find-root.php?message_id=%[email protected]%3E from September 10th. (Gmane is down at the moment, but the link should work after Gmane comes back up.) This series doesn't seem to have garnered any review feedback, so perhaps you could help by trying it out / testing it for Gentoo's purposes. TBH I don't understand why there has been no review feedback; the prior discussion was quite lively: [edk2] BaseTools features: multiple workspaces http://news.gmane.org/find-root.php?message_id=%3c4a89e2ef3dfedb4c8bfde51014f606a111ab7...@shsmsx102.ccr.corp.intel.com%3E started on August 3rd. (Personally I'm not reviewing the series because, although I had commented twice in the discussion, I've never needed the multiple workspaces feature, so I don't have any requirements to measure the series against.)
