As far as I'm aware Gentoo policy does not prevent somebody from re-implementing a package that is already in Gentoo. Obviously it could get pretty confusing if that happened. IMO it isn't really worth worrying about, because right now the main limitation seems to be a lack of people working on projects, not 25 devs who each want to re-implement go their own way... -- Rich
