8 Eh, the whole technical point here is that paludis behaviour differs
9 from portage (and differs from pkgcore, FWIW).
10
11 So, hiding the inconsistency via altering the profiles doesn't change
12 anything. Plus, the point of the bug's flame fest was that bugzilla is
13 not a proper place to request such behaviour changes, and definitely not
14 a reason for QA to mess with the profiles. Sticking the stuff in
15 package.mask won't make the inconsistent behaviour vanish in any way, it
16 will just hide it.
17
18 So, I'd kinda appreciate if concerned folks (including portage and
19 relevant affected arches) were involved in this discussion, instead of
20 sneaking the changes in under QA disguise.

22 Thanks.
