You're avoiding my point. The improvements that are being made
are, by and large, insignificant. Portage doesn't need a few
little tweaks now and again. It has to start delivering a whole
load of major new features (there's no one killer feature), and
quickly.
Why don't you join the portage team and try to persuade the current
portage devs and help to implement the "killer features"?
So instead of saying that portage is missing features and developing
your own pm you could be even more productive and help improving
portage. Why don't ya do that?
Because Portage is beyond repair. The code and design are so bad that
it's easier to start from scratch. Which, funnily enough, is what I
ended up doing.
So why don't you start rewriting, refactoring and improving the portage
source? It definitely doesn't make sense to create a competing package
management system.
