I tentatively agree in terms of USe flag mixups...however... |

I actually like that chromium releases at a high rate of speed. Does |
21 |
that mean it sucks for Gentoo? Sure. |
22 |
However if I want to stay on a particular rev (so I don't recompile |
23 |
all the time) I can pmask it (and so can you.) |

Well one; I care a lot less about having an up to date libre office |
31 |
since it is not typically a target for attacks (unlike my browser |
32 |
which has a large attack surface.) |
33 |
That being said; if upstream did an actual release every week I |
34 |
wouldn't be offended if those releases made it into the tree; again it |
35 |
is up to me as a user to decide if i am recompiling or not. |
