15 Given the existing support for /etc/portage/bin/post_sync, the user has the freedom to do anything they want. If a program needs to make use of the post_sync trigger, it's documentation can simply state that a certain command needs the be run and the user can add that command to their post_sync script. Is that not easy and flexible enough?
