BTW, I'm the sorry b*st*rd that started this... :-) I've gotten a couple of |
| 14 |
emails from users saying that the gentoo-upgrading doc tells them to use a |
| 15 |
cascading profile for their make.profile symlink. |

As I understand it, cascading profiles are in testing by devs and are targeted |
| 18 |
for public consumption in 2004.3. If that's the case, then the |
| 19 |
gentoo-upgrading doc needs to be changed. |
