Apart from its other more common uses [1,2], "PMS" in a Gentoo context stands for the "Package Manager Specification" [3] and the project associated with it [4]. So please do not use the same abbreviation for the package manager, as this will lead to confusion. Especially, we must often distinguish between the specification and its implementation in package managers, and using the same term for both will not help with this.
