Hey Justin, |
| 51 |
|
| 52 |
One thing to note is that a few various python modules, like numpy, |
| 53 |
really benefit from fortran. While many people using numpy are |
| 54 |
scientists, many are not and further there are various modules that |
| 55 |
depend on numpy that non-science folks use. I, for one, care little |
| 56 |
about where that flag is set, since I have manually set that USE for |
| 57 |
years now in make.conf. I am simply hoping to make you aware of the |
| 58 |
fact that there are potential cases that could be easily overlooked. |

Thanks! |
