Something like what Debian does where a central service monitors upstream ftp and notifies you when a bump is available. Per-package eclasses - eblits standardized. Crazy idea: Not-quite-eclasses. Some way to share small bits of code between packages, though the code may not be eclass-worthy. We all know the use-cases: [[ -f ChangeLog ]] && \ { dodoc ChangeLog || die "ChangeLog exists but cannot be dodoc'ed" ; } And bits of code of that ilk.
