1 Summarizing ciaran's claim to end this nonsense-
2
3 VALID_USE isn't useful because use cycle breaking can't be done
4 according to strictures he desires, as such VALID_USE is pointless
5 because pkg_pretend can cover it.
6
7 It's a bit brief and likely left out an insult or two, but it's to
8 the point at least and doesn't need more expounding of his views.
9
10 So does anyone _other_ then ciaran care to comment? Thinking I may
11 write this up as a glep as an attempt to start pushing PMS changes
12 into a more visible and documented light.
