Ah ok, I just thought it would be easier, to get things going and catch 
up with upstream, to release an ebuild that only supports the suid mode 
of operation, and then, taking the necessary time, improve it in future 
releases, rather than supporting all the features right from the 
beginning.

But of course this is just my personal opinion.
