Personally, I'd state anyone who thinks we're implementing only what we find fun to do is trolling something fierce, but I'm also a portage dev thus my views are a bit different. Regardless, ciaran's own statement via irc "that the portage devs are hurting gentoo by ignoring certain requests" still harkens right back to my point- if you believe it to be the case, nagging/bitching ain't going to improve it in anyway. People, you've got the source. You want it and think we're moving to slow/being tools/incompetent jackasses, whatever the belief, _you_ can do something about it that results in actual progress- I already stated the ways to help in my last email. So... again, you want it, help, or kindly sit back and wait for it to be implemented on our timeline. ~harring
