 The thing that really has me attracted to pkgng is that it's based on a
 C library with a public API that developers can use / abuse. It's not
 (AFAIK) officially released yet, but some early work I've been doing
 with it has shown it to be useful enough.

Do not hesitate to propose patches or bring feedback on how we can improve the
situation with library.

The API is public but will only be consider as stable before 2.0, because it can
be greatly improved and we hope to have reviews and feedback and cleanup before
marking it stable.
