25 It doesn't ignore what the user wants. It just doesn't look where you
26 think it should.
27
28 If someone really wants to use newer packages to bootstrap, they can
29 edit the packages file in their profile. Otherwise things can
30 potentially break and we get more bug reports.
31
32 I actually believe that the package versions in the profile should
33 probably be upped because it's somewhat outdated. However, if you want
34 to tune your settings for bootstrap, do it in places other than
35 make.conf and don't file bug reports if something breaks in the process.
36
37 Users can do anything they want in make.conf after bootstapping.
38
39 If someone has a special need to use newer packages during bootstrap,
40 they can edit profiles/<profile>/packages.
