Even if that is a package that other packages depend on? Lets say I want |
| 9 |
to delete an ancient version of gtk+, but arch ABC has that as the only |
| 10 |
stable ebuild, while the rest are ~ABC. Do I remove it, as I may, and |
| 11 |
break the whole stable tree of arch ABC, unkeyword hundreds of other |
| 12 |
packages, or I'm just allowed to remove it but should really apply a |
| 13 |
common sense as usual and you don't want to go into details in this |
| 14 |
document? |
