I can't really say I have a serious opinion at this point, except that
I've been watching and appreciating all the hard work you've been putting
in on baselayout.  The Gentoo system really is amazing in that regard, and
yet it keeps getting better! =8^)  While you're working on those stubborn
bugs, just be aware that some of us users appreciate the trouble you go
to, especially when something in ~arch breaks (not that it isn't
expected on ~arch, just sain' that's when the working system gets
appreciated) and we can't simply take it for granted any longer.  =8^P
