27 I thought there was a specific bug about chicken's use of A and that
28 of portage conflicting, but I can't find it now. The Changelog isn't
29 very helpful either. I did find bug 208535 about a similar problem
30 with O which was resolved by fixing portage.
31 I think a good way to move forward is probably to just open a new bug
32 about this.

41 You should feel free to commit stuff even if it is has some issues;
42 that's what we have the overlay for. The main tree is a different
43 story, but for the overlay the bar is intentionally really low. That
44 way people can cooperate and improve on each-other's work easily.
