Probably. There're enough Gentoo developers using Paludis that getting |
18 |
things committed hasn't ever been an issue. |

It's the sort of thing Paludis users do tend to care about. PMS gets |
29 |
mentioned often enough in answers on the Paludis mailing list, bug |
30 |
tracker and IRC channels as answers to questions, so if there are any |
31 |
users who haven't heard of it, we're merely bringing forward their |
32 |
inevitable encounter slightly. |
