Personally I would abandon SPKGs altogether. It never made sense to me
that we have made up our own package management system when others
already exist. So I would let SPKG repositories languish until we were
able to switch to ebuilds - or some other similar system, potentially,
but ebuilds / Prefix are the one I'm most familiar with, mainly because
people are already working hard on it (i.e. lmonade and sage-on-gentoo).

I agree, actually. I posted a thread about this just now :)
