Introducing something like INSTALL_MASK_ORDER gives the user |
| 19 |
effectively more ways to shoot himself in the foot, especially when |
| 20 |
ebuilds start to rely on INSTALL_MASK in non-trivial ways (and I am |
| 21 |
sure people will come up with stuff). |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
Besides that, it is a very intrusive change of behavior. |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
Anyway... I don't care about people who break their systems in such |
| 26 |
stupid ways. It's not more dangerous than one of the other thousand |
| 27 |
things you can do to break gentoo, such as "--nodeps". |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
They gotta handle it. |
