I ask, because this isn't the first time "tags" have been proposed as the magic solution to everything. Each previous time, everyone has had a slightly different, incompatible idea of what "tags" are, what they're supposed to do, and how they're supposed to do it. So I would like to see someone explain in detail, and without glossing over the inconvenient technicalities, just how "tags" will help with "searching". > Such a feature could later being used to create applications like > *gasp* an intuitive GUI interface to portage or for statistical > analysis of packages... Could, maybe. But the current lack of intuitive GUI and the lack of statistical analysis both have absolutely nothing to do with not having tags... -- Ciaran McCreesh
