This isn't as simple as you think, since quite a few of these utilities |
| 9 |
are called using 'xargs' and so have to be binaries. Whilst Paludis can |
| 10 |
deal with external binaries triggering a die because exheres needs it |
| 11 |
(exheres has everything as fatal except where preceeded by 'nonfatal'), |
| 12 |
I'm not sure that Portage can just now. |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
Also note that quite a few packages rely upon the current nonfatal |
| 15 |
behaviour, so it'd need to be an EAPI bump... |
