Ahhh, this is a different scenerio then alltogether, I would want to get
that out there too :)

Right, this could work ok for you, but for ppc I don't want to do this,
there is a lot of ppc stuff out there, and if we are just doing a gentoo
knockoff there is no point (yet).  People can (and will)  just use gentoo.
We are working on a clean base that will be our prerelease stuff for ppc,
which is still heavily moving and in testing.

Ahh that clears things up.  I personally don't want to be on that list, the
influx of emails will kill my inbox once things get rolling.  We really need
a proper annoucement method that all devs will get.  I suggest we accounce
things like svn trees up and running to zynot-dev.  I don't think it's
unreasonable to ask all devs to sub to at least that list :)
