We can't really rely on lsb_release being present, especially if Portage is being run on FreeBSD or a more exotic prefix; sys-apps/lsb-release isn't even installed on my relatively 'normal' amd64 Gentoo Linux machine. Additionally, it wouldn't have the bug URL even if it were present. We can therefore strike the PMS bits and the patch from the proposal. If there are no other objections to this proposal, would a PR that implements this against the Gentoo tree be the best way forward? If so, I can start work on that now while giving more people the chance to read over it. (Would it be more desirable to have all changes in a single large commit, or one commit per package?)
