This was discussed multiple times, news items are to be read. |
| 18 |
Users ignore elog informations/web announcements/... so it was agreed that |
| 19 |
news item is agressive enough to user so they must read it. |
| 20 |
If they don't do so it is just their fault. |
| 21 |
And no runtime changing for portage where it expect some input is seriously |
| 22 |
stupid idea, most of us script updates in batch and noone would actualy read |
| 23 |
it. |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
Never the less as I said we expect user to read that stuff and if he does not |
| 26 |
he is on his own due to his dumb approach. |
