6 I wonder why the affected package (eselect-opengl) couldn't run
7 lafilefixer itself. It's mandatory for all users, and would save a lot
8 of frustration.

10 And I think we're doing something similar with gcc (fix_libtool_files.sh
11 seems to run automatically on gcc upgrade). Earlier it wasn't automatic,
12 and it was a bit of pain (a lot more for inexperienced users, needlessly).
13
14 Long story short: if something must be done and system can do it
15 automatically and perfectly, why should we require the user to do it
16 manually?
17
18 Additional benefit: less bugs reported (I'm sure some people are going
19 to miss the announcement, or read it without understanding).
