punting a package because you disagree with the implementation is not a valid |
| 15 |
reason. nor is an upstream who hasnt touched a package in ages. there are |
| 16 |
plenty of packages in system which could be punted using this reasoning |
| 17 |
leaving Gentoo broken. |

if the package doesnt function properly, that is a reason. it runs fine for |

me, but i'm not interested in supporting the package. |
