Well, for the record I will note that MH was written in 1979 so has 23 years of seniority.

MH date source: RAND and the information evolution: a history in essays and vignettes By Willis H. Ware (page 129, as seen in google books).

Pixie date source: SourceForge project page (project created 2002).

nmh was removed from portage, therefore closing as wontfix for now.
new ebuilds should go in bug 336057.
