Granted we need more universal support in base, but we should
coordinate things amongst ourselves, not duplicate effort, and not
create different ways of doing the same thing.
The problem is, we do not know yet how to best build the non-trivial
cases. The "merge" idea is only one piece for getting universal
support for more universal-resistant ports; others are using
emulators, different architecture build machines, etc.
If there are more people interested in working on this, we should
definitely coordinate. I've started a wiki page [1] including a list
of interested developers -- which is currently very short ;) (if
this group is getting very large, we'll get a mailing list for it)
As soon as I find some spare time, I'll add the results of our GSoC
research on how post-destroot merge works (and what is missing) and
where more investigation is necessary (e.g. emulation)
