Did you know that Gentoo users are more likely to want something once |
| 26 |
you tell them they can want it? Even if it doesn't really make any |
| 27 |
sense, and they never felt like needing it in the past. |
| 28 |

So you're likely to make more noise than it's worth, and turn a minor |
| 30 |
loss into a major one. 'Hey, I'm telling you you can do X since we're |
| 31 |
removing it, enjoy it for a few days!' |
