I keep seing threads like this cropping up at a regular basis, both here |
| 16 |
and on bugzilla. However, the small issue most people who file those |
| 17 |
bugs overlook is reliability. |

Here's the point, we can easly remove the dependency on esd, and if the |
| 20 |
code works, okay. However, then you have an untracked dependency when |
| 21 |
esd -is- installed but set as USE="-esd" , as it will be needed, but not |
| 22 |
listed as such. |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
-that- is unreliable behaviour, and in many cases we chose to rather |
| 25 |
make it a hard dependency and force it down peoples throats, than to |
| 26 |
expend time and work on issues where things -work- but we perhaps not |
| 27 |
locally optimal. |

So, Feel free to file any bugs you want about this, tcp-wrappers and |
| 30 |
other such "bloated" issues. However: If you do not wrap for the |
| 31 |
reverse case, your changes will be ignored. |
