Hi Gregg; |
16 |
|
17 |
There is a cliche 'fools rush in where angels fear to |
18 |
tread.' |
19 |
If you 'emerge -u world' tommorow, and critical systems |
20 |
suddenly fail due to any number of reasons, including your |
21 |
CFLAGS settings, or USE variables, or just a bad ebuild, then |
22 |
what? A brave person sees this and goes ahead anyway. 'It has |
23 |
worked good so far, so it must be safe' isnt quite the same |
24 |
thing. |
25 |
Gentoo cannot make claims thus far about the kind of |
26 |
reliability you seem to expect. If it doesnt deliver, please |
27 |
dont malign it... |
