11 I'm not trying to sabotage anything but total misuse of the feature.
12 Would have the same objections wrt whatever other "critical" news that'd
13 constitute completely inappropriate usage of GLEP42 features. (And I'd
14 expect that you'd show a bit more knowledge of the GLEP you are a
15 co-author of, frankly.)

17 The relevant paludis output has been pasted twice already, so let me try
18 one last time:
19
20 <snip>
21 ... Use of token '*' is deprecated, use '*/*' instead
22 </snip>
23
24 How much more explanation about this 'critical' change do the users
25 *need*? If they don't get the above, maybe paludis and Linux just isn't
26 for them and they should stick to Windows. Meanwhile there's no need to
27 establish a precedent of using critical news for PEBKAC issues.
