++ In my opinion, an empty tag or one with "no-herd" is rather silly when the requirement for the tag can just be removed. The alternative is, of course, requiring every package to belong to a real herd. Although this is not impossible, it would be quite hard to implement as quite a few packages do not really fit into any existing category, as you mentioned in #-dev. Also, someone will have to go through the ~2000 packages and figure out what herd they belong to, which seems like a strenuous job. I say the first is a much more feasible solution. I'll even be glad to help in removing the herd tags for the affected ebuilds if this is the path chosen. I say we act on this now, as the further off we put it until, the more metadata.xml files there will be to fix. -- David Shakaryan GnuPG Public Key: 0x4B8FE14B
