I actually don't think that would be such a bad thing. I only consider ~arch relevant, because it is the closest to upstream. I want the distribution I use to be as thin as possible; the value it adds is administrative - and the Gentoo packages and tools are fantastic. \o/ The thicker a distribution is, the larger a gap between users and upstream it creates, which inconveniences *both* users and upstream, because users have to wait for new code, and upstreams have to deal with lots of known and possibly fixed bugs. The ideal would be only live ebuilds, but for now we have no precise technology for synchronization. Version numbers are both blunt and arbitrary. //Peter
