20 How about we just ignore ciaranm because he's got no valid complaints
21 or objections to this particular portage behavior as shown in
22 https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=273261#c28.

24 Relevant portion excerpted here for your convenience:
25 "Additionally, in
26 http://sources.gentoo.org/viewcvs.py/portage/main/trunk/pym/portage.py?rev=3495&view=markup
27 (hint: look for "recursive=1") and
28 http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=133740, with both predating the
29 initial RFC for PMS sent to gentoo-dev mailing list, this behavior is
30 discussed and shown to be a design feature, not a flaw or lack of QA
31 in portage. This proves with certainty that it is PMS and the views of
32 the reporter of this bug that are flawed, and not the behavior of
33 portage."

35 Problem solved.
