Okay, USE flags are one idea; I can see how that would make maintenance |
| 14 |
a little easier than having two separate baselayout ebuilds; just have a |
| 15 |
posix USE flag rather than calling it baselayout-posix or whatever. |

Next question, then, since I am extremely, exquisitely glad to know that |
| 18 |
the existing, familiar, comfortable, (etc.) way of doing it will be |
| 19 |
allowed, how long will that last. That is, will we all be forced to |
| 20 |
migrate to the new way of configuring things at some point in the |
| 21 |
future, or is that so far off yet that we needn't worry? I'm wondering |
| 22 |
if you see us all switching at some point, say, 6 - 9 months down the |
| 23 |
road. How long are you willing to support the status quo? |
