Fine here too. I don't use it, but I've made the case before that |
| 12 |
gentoo's not a babysitter, and IMO, people not checking USE flag changes |
| 13 |
before an emerge and adjusting their config accordingly... get to keep |
| 14 |
whatever pieces they might end up with. Given that, even if I did use it |
| 15 |
I'd be a hypocrite if I now tried to make a big deal about a USE flag |
| 16 |
change of this nature. |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
That said, as with the last case where big USE flag changes came up, |
| 19 |
let's use some wisdom and use the news feature for what it was designed |
| 20 |
for, to notify people about this sort of thing ahead of time. =:^) |
| 21 |
(Examples I've seen recently of people's emerge output noting X news |
| 22 |
items unread aside. If they can't even read NEWS items... and still |
| 23 |
choose to use gentoo... well there's that saying about leading a horse to |
| 24 |
water... <shrug>) |
