The main problem in my books is the $A kludgery that would have to be |
| 10 |
implemented for one specific set of packages- ebuild's/eclass's futzing |
| 11 |
w/ $A ($S would be saner, although still problematic) is utterly |
| 12 |
intrusive, and would require modification of the existing ebuilds. |

That's not to say supporting gnu diff patches isn't a bad idea- I'm just |
| 15 |
trying to point out that the implementation issues have some rather |
| 16 |
thorny problems to address. |
