1 I've been using dev-util/lafilefixer ever since I learned about it. Now
2 I've bumped into a thread whose latest posts suggests that it is now
3 obsolete, with a better capability built into portage.

5 I hope this is true. I'd love to ditch it because "lafilefixer --justfixit"
6 never fails to process some packages that are hardwired for one reason or
7 another. Some search engine results suggest this may be true, but they're
8 mostly old. Is this still and permanently true?

10 If so, why is it still in portage and no mention of its obsolesence in the
11 elogs?
