I agree with the safe bit, but that "don't need to change them" phrase is |
20 |
self-evidently false, or Gentoo wouldn't have needed to make the |
21 |
--as-needed change either. The change didn't magically happen the moment |
22 |
the need appeared. |

|

(Then again, I never believed that equally self-evidently false "no user |
25 |
serviceable parts inside" sticker, either. When it's a few screws and a |
26 |
50 cent fuse, and I'm the user without a microwave as a result...) |
