I disagree. It is actively being suggested on #gentoo, and we already |
| 9 |
document features that could (or even will) result in RESO:WONTFIX, like |
| 10 |
using ~arch (both for a small set of packages as well as the entire system). |

I would rather have a <warn> in place then that sais it will hinder support |
| 13 |
during bug reports and might result in RESO:WONTFIX unless the user removes |
| 14 |
the specific settings and rebuilds with the system ones. |

Not documenting is, in my opinion, a lesser solution than documenting and |
| 17 |
saying why it is bad. |
