7  Initial release.
8 
9  * Sync functionality doesn't yet exist (pmaint script will be in 0.2)
10 
11  * pmerge vdb modification requires --force; this will be disabled in 0.2,
12    mainly is in place so that folks who are just looking, don't inadvertantly
13    trigger an actual modification.
14 
15  * not all portage FEATURES are implemented; same for QA.
16 
17  * If overlays are in use, pkgcore may defer to it's a seperate cache to avoid
18    pkgcore causing cache regen for portage (and vice versa); this occurs due
19    to pkgcore treating overlays as their own repo and combining them at a
20    higher level; portage smushes them all together thus rendering each subtree
21    unusable in any standalone fashion.
22
23  * pkgcore is far more anal about blocking bad behaviour in ebuilds during
24    metadata regeneration; tree is clean, but if you do something wrong in
25    global scope, it *will* catch it and block it.
26 
27  * EBD; daemonized ebuild.sh processing (effectively), pkgcore reuses old
28    ebuild.sh processes to avoid bash startup, speeding regen up by roughly
29    2x.
