We should not have third-party projects be part of SOC -- specifically, things that are not Gentoo projects. I'd lobby this whether it was pkgcore or paludis being proposed, so don't bother trying to pin partisan accusations. Point is, it's not a Gentoo project. PMS, portage tests, or doing a gentoo.org rewrite -- those are Gentoo projects by any reasonable standards, I should think. I'm very strongly against using Gentoo SoC time and resources for things that are not officially part of Gentoo (yes, this statement could be spun however you wish) or are not official Gentoo projects. And no, just because a project has Gentoo developers in it doesn't mean that it's a Gentoo project -- let's avoid the gray areas now, shall we? Just because we have Gentoo devs who are also Gnome upstream doesn't make their Gnome-related packages that happen to be in our tree official Gentoo projects. No third-party non-Gentoo SoC projects leeching off our organization and resources, please. This includes third-party package managers and third-party packages. You want free work, go get it via some other entity, not our SoC.
