19 What are "cosmetics" things? Also, what do you mean by "It's supposed"?
20 Who should decide what "is supposed" and what not?

22 From past discussions I remember somebody remembered me that, when you
23 talk here, you are simply talking as another one subscribed here, like
24 me and others, you don't represent PMS team and have no special rule to
25 forbid us what to do, that is the reason why I asked for more opinions
26 about how to handle this situation in the tree and why I demanded
27 Alexandre to wait a bit before commiting second way because that way
28 simply adds more complication with no benefit apart of address your
29 complaints even leaving the rest of the tree (ebuilds/eclasses already
30 using it) unchanged.
