Now you're playing with semantics. In the case of -r200/-r300 we |
15 |
are talking about the *exact same* $PV, but for some reason |
16 |
the revision numbers are confusingly abused for something |
17 |
that we normally use useflags for (toggling support for specific |
18 |
toolkits for example). |

Please stop abusing revision numbers for something they are |
21 |
not meant to convey. And please stop pushing developers to |
22 |
drop perfectly legal usage of the gtk3 useflag. |
