I think the two sorcery projects would be fine as long as they don't
end up required in anyway when their project is done.

Some other things I know about are:
1) fully featured versioning support in sorcery/grimoire
2) sparc support (I know sandalle has gotten closest but it's not done
by a long shot something to do with glibc which makes it interesting).
3) x86-64 multi-lib support (I know this is a sore subject but if they
could figure it out and how to make it optional that'd be cool ;).
4) parallel install of cross compiler tool-kits (ie so
/usr/bin/avr-unknown-gcc would be my avr compiler).
