It should be easier to crowdsource the tags definitions, assignments and QA and therefore helps to build consistent database faster and easier. 2. decouples tagging from maintaining a package, therefore makes more community driven and prevents "THAT'S MY PACKAGE, DON'T TOUCH IT YOU SCHMUCK" type of quarrel. 3. Classic prototyping benefit - might identify problematic areas for implementation. The downside is the implementation might be more time consuming depending on architecture. Mostly due to 1. I guess but that could be handled by using git and pull requests for crowdsource and then the implementation should be basicly no different from using portage itself, besides using different VCS. - -- Jan Matějka | Developer https://gentoo.org | Gentoo Linux GPG: A33E F5BC A9F6 DAFD 2021 6FB6 3EBF D45B EEB6 CA8B -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.22 (GNU/Linux) iQEcBAEBCgAGBQJTMTicAAoJEIN+7RD5ejahIlsH/1UmMa1P+QBEZ/HpfOPX1d4Z S0nYho8vinPQVenOXMY/0KVvh4bzhmrTZWm4itLVB/5taI88m5fzQbvYSNlEn+Nn zRTcmyuze+3mmDf3++mfzzjmByYLiYJwCdhNF7HH4V04Ph/aEQbjO++9EL37bW/J uCYs8b0Vtn97utW2mJcUa7Wbgluo6jhCDHW8yGuZW4JfCo6bRQfqqlxGGGufIXK9 N8FX01Kbt2HFqgwdK7uZIfn0Gh9xGkIL2Jk2WCFzUHjZgJTy0UuPGeUSCOsTt7wg CcETDWrzscuydtdhZaFmtZ3Xs7eQ7I98nwEdlkSdgbsfQFYQlPvomCGZyGehtTo= =ykWo -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
