i dont think anybody expects you to post tree-wide conversion patches to |

-dev ml :) |

but i also dont think it is a good idea to leave the toolchain-funcs |
| 21 |
version around, and if you want to drop it, you'll have to fill bugs to let |

ppl know, which is probably more work than adding 8 chars to an inherit |

not sure if this was phrased as such, but I seem to recall a council |
| 43 |
decision stating that separate /usr should be made easy to users unless |
