| If someone has gone their entire life using a rock to hammer nails and |
| 7 |
| has never heard of a hammer before and thus doesn't have the demand |
| 8 |
| for it does that mean that if they are told about the hammer they |
| 9 |
| won't use it or have a demand for always having it? |

| Sometimes you create demand where one doesn't currently exist by |
| 12 |
| simply telling people about the hammer. |

*bzzzzt*, silly analogy detected. Putting something in portage is not |
| 15 |
telling people about it. |

| 18 |

| 19 |
| access to and nothing else. |

Uh, that's still enough to screw up portage completely. One suitably |
| 22 |
broken ebuild can still cause lots and lots of errors all over the |
| 23 |
place. |

I still don't see what's wrong with having a seperate repositry (eg |
| 26 |
"breakmygentoo") for things that don't make it into the "official" tree. |
| 27 |
(Well, actually, I see the whole "submitting bugs about things that |
| 28 |
are caused by breakmygentoo ebuilds" issue, but a few messy public |
| 29 |
executions by, say, Spider should sort that out... A 'tainted' flag on |
| 30 |
emerge info would be good for that...) |
