I agree, a sudden move (3 days) will cause nuisance breakage. If |
| 22 |
anything, lets firm up the schedule for it's removal, so that all tools |
| 23 |
can be updated to use cat/pkg/metadata.xml only for local flags. |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
Otherwise there will be a lot of user noise generated over broken tools |
| 26 |
such as several gentoolkit utilities, porthole, kuroo, kportagetray,... |
