i originally added it to eutils eclass and only called it in some ebuilds |
6 |
because people were against lettings users patch anything at all (due to the |
7 |
maintenance burden). the trade off was that maintainers could add it to their |
8 |
ebuilds explicitly when they were ok with supporting it. so that quieted the |
9 |
opposition while letting it proliferate throughout the tree. now we're at the |
10 |
point of it being fairly common in the tree, so moving it somewhere more |
11 |
central would probably be a good thing. |
