It might depend on the flag we're talking about, but filter-flags and |
| 7 |
replace-flags is mostly used for ebuilds that don't work with supported |
| 8 |
flags (like an ebuild that doesn't like -Os but needs -O2). There has |
| 9 |
been a debate a couple of weeks back if ebuilds should even filter |
| 10 |
-ffast-math as this is a flag that breaks dozens of packages, sometimes |
| 11 |
in sneaky, hard-to-debug ways, or if the ebuild should just die if it |
| 12 |
finds that flag. |

You're free to try, but the idea is that while you have a lot of choices |
| 15 |
when using Gentoo it is not the devs duty to stop you from making bad |
| 16 |
choices or protect you from their effects. |
