This is actually something I was already planning on working on setting up. To avoid conflicting with the current profiles, I was planning on making a new profile tree. I wasn't planning on using it for 2007.1's official media, though, but rather just /experimental stuff, since I'd rather get much more testing on it before it goes "live" as the default. -- Chris Gianelloni Release Engineering Strategic Lead Alpha/AMD64/x86 Architecture Teams Games Developer/Council Member/Foundation Trustee Gentoo Foundation
