State-fully coded ebuilds, while perhaps not to your liking, for some code-types can be incredibly useful. For example, 9/10 perl-module ebuilds don't need any code at all in the ebuild itself, it could do most of the work via structured data, with the rest of the work done by an e-class. However, bash has serious problems when you want to represent hierarchical data. -- Kent perl -e "print substr( \"edrgmaM SPA NOcomil.ic\\@tfrken\", \$_ * 3, 3 ) for ( 9,8,0,7,1,6,5,4,3,2 );"
