Actually, I'm working on a "get the crap out of the tree" project that is pretty much the exact opposite of this. ;) But, things I like: - metrics for package popularity (can we do gentoo-stats already?) - encouraging teams and maintainers to take an interest in unmaintained packages - keeping track of maintainer-wanted/needed packages through categorization, etc. - proxy-maintainers These things I think would benefit both projects, as well as several others. I would actually rather see our overall package count dropping than growing, but if we're adding quality, maintained stuff and tossing out the garbage then I guess that's an improvement too. -- gcc-porting, by design, by neglect treecleaner, for a fact or just for effect wxwidgets @ gentoo EFFD 380E 047A 4B51 D2BD C64F 8AA8 8346 F9A4 0662
