I'm glad to see you're volunteering to join in with Ned in going |
| 9 |
through every single ebuild in the tree and fixing them up to list nth |
| 10 |
level dependencies. It's going to be really fun watching you update |
| 11 |
several hundred packages every time a library's compile dependencies |
| 12 |
change between versions. |

See, if libfoo-1.0's headers don't need (say) boost, but libfoo-1.1's |
| 15 |
headers do, with what you're proposing you'd have to go through and |
| 16 |
update the dependencies of every single package using libfoo. |
