I hope you will continue with our efforts to drive regular Portage
forwards too. It's been a long road but also very productive.

I notice that your fork cannot be installed at the same time as regular
Portage. I think this will really hinder any interest in it. As
Gentoo developers, we obviously have to make sure things work with the
official package manager and that goes for you too. Would it be
possible for them to coexist? I'm not saying I'll try it though, just
making a suggestion. :)
