I agree, a sudden move (3 days) will cause nuisance breakage. If |
22 |
anything, lets firm up the schedule for it's removal, so that all tools |
23 |
can be updated to use cat/pkg/metadata.xml only for local flags. |

Otherwise there will be a lot of user noise generated over broken tools |
26 |
such as several gentoolkit utilities, porthole, kuroo, kportagetray,... |
