The idea is welcome, and a Gentoo Server project (with its implications for portage) has been discussed and even started (AFAIK) a number of times. Whether or not it would actually be added to portage is another matter, no promises (nor as a user could I give them), of course, but the idea is not to complicate any such possibilities with an incompatible license. Certainly, such projects have been the beginnings of serious advances in any number of open source projects... -- Duncan - List replies preferred. No HTML msgs.
