The aim is to document things that Portage does intentionally, along
with things that Portage does unintentionally if that behaviour is
required by a lot of the tree, whilst excluding things that are
clearly Portage bugs.

Which is, of course, not entirely quantifiable, rather vague and a pain
in the ass to get right, which is another reason that it helps that
everyone currently writing PMS is more or less on the same page in
terms of what gets documented.
