where ? i have yet to see an objection to IUSE defaults and plenty of |
| 7 |
support. in fact, the exact opposite makes sense: it *decreases* |
| 8 |
maintenance. time and again having information split between an ebuild and |
| 9 |
the profiles/ directory has resulted in bit rot. having all the information |
| 10 |
in the ebuild allows for trivial changes on a per-ebuild basis and not |
| 11 |
needing to update multiple files in unrelated trees. |
