It is a huge bug actually: Prefix has not ever been stabilized. In the mean while, I am interested in mentoring a motivated student to carry us through the stabilizing process. https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Google_Summer_of_Code/2019/Ideas#Stabilize_Gentoo_Prefix Please help spread this GSOC idea to the potential students.
