Then write it. Portage's source is available to anyone. I remember that you were on this list \
earlier this year pushing for "Portage QOS" or something. Keep in mind what a significant \
number of people told you then: first, if you want to make some change, just do it and show us \
what you have, rather than asking for votes and permission and changes. Second, repeatedly \
saying "we should have (some feature)" doesn't work if the people who would do the work (the \
portage team) don't see value in it. From the general response on the list, I would say this is \
the case. This means that if you want the feature, write it and come back with an \
implementation, since complaining about it is getting you nowhere.
