Back then I already discussed how this project description leads to |
| 37 |
confusion on users, and as such I opened bug 441014 |
| 38 |
https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=441014 I'm still waiting for |
| 39 |
blueness answers on this since he was the one who asked me to open said |
| 40 |
bug. Meanwhile missinformation keeps being spread out. |
