The argument in favor of splitdebug is that it allows users to give |
| 15 |
useful bugreports when using tools such as gnome's bug-buddy. Currently, |
| 16 |
gentoo users provide very little useful information because everything |
| 17 |
is stripped. And it only adds a few hundred megs and its easy to |
| 18 |
disable. Probably should be explained in the handbook if we make it the |
| 19 |
default. |
