True, and the underpinnings are not the only reason to switch. Should be also the user experience (speed, features) and that can be evaluated by every dev, or even users - it's what matters most for them, isn't it. Of course internal design is important for maintainability etc, but it's not all. > It's probably a little early to initiate such a proposal, seeing as the > PMS is still undergoing review.

Yeah, I don't think it's now helpful to hear that portage sux and paludis can do $x and $y and $z, over and over again.
