Snipping pretty much everything since I *really* don't care. |

I'm just dumping this idea. I was proposing it because of a |
| 9 |
conversation with a user where we thought it would be a good idea to |
| 10 |
give the user some way of knowing that a package requires some |
| 11 |
additional purchased (or otherwise obtained) portion that is not a |
| 12 |
distfile/tarball. Anyway, you seem to have done a good job of |
| 13 |
convincing me of whatever it is you think you've convinced me of, but |
| 14 |
the truth is I just didn't care enough to bother getting into some |
| 15 |
pointless pissing match over something that I didn't feel very strongly |
| 16 |
about in the first place. Basically, you "win" by default of me just |
| 17 |
not caring enough to argue anymore. |

I'll just wait around for portage 2.1 or whatever and see what kind of |
| 20 |
kludge we have to design then. |
