While I completely agree with that normally, I do think that since there |
| 30 |
is nothing else like this, and if TaD adds some sort of disclaimer at |
| 31 |
the bottom suggesting that it is crashy and they should try changing |
| 32 |
their theme and seeing if crashes persist it shouldn't be a problem. |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
If this was an important package it being a bit buggy would be a good |
| 35 |
reason to not include it, but it is basically a novelty item, and if TaD |
| 36 |
will maintain it, why not? |
| 37 |
|

Gentoo is about choice, and if a user chooses to run buggy themes that |
| 39 |
might cause an app or two to capsize, who are we to stop them? |
