I've been using this for awhile now (tho IIRC it wasn't /that/ long ago |
15 |
that I saw it popup as new in the portage changelog =:^), and have been |
16 |
rather happy with it indeed! =:^) |
17 |
|
18 |
Among other things, I used to get prompted at I think every update for a |
19 |
whole slew of mc theme and hotkey file updates, when I never touched |
20 |
those files. Now I don't have to worry about 'em! =:^) Same thing |
21 |
(different files of course) with openrc, where I use the -9999 live-git |
22 |
version and normally update once or twice a week to better track changes |
23 |
that sometimes negatively affect me. |
24 |
|
25 |
The best thing about it is not having to worry about missing an important |
26 |
change in a file I DO change, due to all the noise from files I don't |
27 |
touch. |
28 |
|
29 |
So yes, definitely ++ to making it the default, from here! =:^) |
