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.

Thanks for that clarification! There are other changes I want to make,
but because I can't directly edit the wiki page, I'll wait for more
input before sending a delta creffett's way.
