Frankly getting fairly annoyed people are immediately taking it to |

the rhel/ubuntu extremes- that is *not* what I asked and is frankly |

a strawman argument. Occasional pain on upgrades is a given in |

corners is delusional (versioned eapi, etc-update's very existance, |

portage warning on removal of a pkg in the system set, the list goes |

on). Hell, even the notification mechanism y'all want to use for |

informing is an example of trying to soften those corners were |

possible, rather than precluding their existance. |

I asked if we had looked at scripting away some of the upgrade pains. |

It's a pretty simple fucking question requiring either a 5 second |
18 |
"no" or 5 minutes of "yes, heres what we looked at, they were deemed |
19 |
too painful". Answering that also is a helluva lot quicker then |
20 |
people trading barbs over "we need to release it now" or proper SA; |
21 |
while your retort was dead on for what folks should do, it was |
22 |
completely unrelated to answering the question I'm *asking*. |

If we didn't look into it, that's fine. Means I've got something to |
25 |
poke at over the weekend. |

If we did, and it was ruled out, awesome, I have other things on my |
28 |
todo list I'll poke at this weekend. |
