6 Well, I still think it's horrible (and I think the same about pretty
7 much anything else using has_version...), but I can't come up with any
8 creative way of interpreting PMS to say that it *should* be illegal...
9 So if we're making a change, it's a retroactive one to work around a
10 Portage bug...

12 *shrug* I have no strong opinion on how we handle it.
