I agree, I didn't know about it until someone mentioned it to me a few
days ago. This prompted me into writing a little about it on my
gopherhole/site (at least so *I* can remember), and I'd be glad to write
proper docs for that, actually. Just not sure how to proceed to
contribute that. poudriere really is an impressive piece of software to me.
