Nice way of adding in that little "cover my ass so's I can snipe at a competing project" parenthetical statement. That statement is in itself irrelevant to the discussion; we're not talking about pkgcore, nor about its *code base* -- and you know very well that only trivial bits are still Portage code. Meanwhile, back to the issue at hand...I suppose a deadline of any sort should spell out what expectations folks have for the initial drafts; that is, what they intend to do once they get it in their hot little hands that justifies any time crunch. Then again, deadline itself seems to be a word with negative connotations -- are folks wanting to get into the drafts before some future release of Portage, or what? Or are they just antsy because no one besides those working on it have any idea of percent completed? I suppose a status report would be more in order than a deadline. Having said report would better facilitate deciding a deadline & its date anyway. To this point, the most report that anyone seems to have is more of the ol' smoke and mirrors: "the right people have access to it, and we can give you read-only access if you're OUR sort of people."
