Why would you acknowledge them? They are a different feature (plus,
seriously no mail gets automagically marked as read, if you use the mail
elog feature e.g. Maybe you should actually try to use the stuff before
recycling your 'our experience shows' and 'elog sucks' scratched record
once again.)

Plus, why's this thread been hijacked again for the paludis upgrade
stuff that doesn't need any news at all and that's been committed in
breach of GLEP42 itself?!

- paludis already loudly warns about the deprecated syntax whenever used;
- drop this "users like it" and "experience has shown" stuff. Experience
based on 4 news items is no experience at all; experience based on
one-package overlay is irrelevant wrt a repository with thousands of
ebuilds; and "users like it" may be nice for one package overlay, and a
genuine PITA for a tree with thousands of ebuilds at the same time.
Repeating it doesn't go anywhere, nor will it make any of your point
more valid.


Thanks.
