Bad because it breaks the cache. Depending on the status of the python |
| 11 |
flag *on the rsync master* the cache settings are or are not modified by |
| 12 |
the python.eclass and could be completely different from the values the |
| 13 |
cache should have for the user. That's also the case for other cache |
| 14 |
variables like DEPEND, SRC_URI or SLOT, if you make them conditional on |
| 15 |
the environment it's likely that the cache values are wrong for some |
| 16 |
people. |

In the beginning, there was nothing. And God said, 'Let there be |
| 24 |
Light.' And there was still nothing, but you could see a bit better. |
