| 6 | What ban are you referring to? The Portage Manager Specification doesn't |

| 9 | Seriously though, whatever sort of tricks your opponents think they're |
| 10 | doing with HOMEPAGE don't work. The HOMEPAGE can contain conditionals |
| 11 | (i.e. dependency syntax), so grepping and copy/pasting are unreliable, |
| 12 | and we should all continue doing whatever the heck we want. |
