From where I'm sitting, the only ebuild that has any business telling |
12 |
me to change (or suggesting how) locale is glibc. Especially when |
13 |
we're talking about a warning that will be in 7.6% of the versions |
14 |
in the tree. |

That's pretty freaking spammy... end result will be people switching |
17 |
(for better or worse) to stop seeing the complaints. |

It's basically annoying people into changing to partially |

sidestep a couple of bugs, instead of fixing the issue- and that's the |

wrong course of action. |
