Supporting this would be a huge policy violation, and not so merely as |
| 12 |
a technicality. I suggest simply removing ion support from the main |
| 13 |
tree, and sticking it in an overlay that comes with a big warning |
| 14 |
telling users that they cannot expect any level of QA for those |
| 15 |
packages. |
