I'd like to stress that people should only port those eggs they
actively use. This way cruft that nobody uses gets dropped automatically.
There are a *lot* of eggs, and maintaining them all will become
next to impossible unless we can trim them a bit.

If you do not want to port an egg and nobody seems to be willing
to do it, but you find the egg essential for your Chickening, send
a mail to the list with a Request For Portage.

Cheers,
Peter
