I understand your argument but isn't something like graveyard actually |
20 |
an advantage in this case? If people use local or less clearly named |
21 |
overlays, it's hard so say whether that is the problem. If they install |
22 |
packages outside of portage, you have no way of knowing it before they |
23 |
mention it, either. |

25 |
Graveyard, on the other hand, shows up clearly in `emerge --info` and |
26 |
is, in my opinion, one of the most justified reasons to close a bug with |
27 |
WONTFIX without looking further. |
