You are correct that that comment was made. However, later in the bug, |
13 |
multiple folks made the observation that /etc is not the place for a |
14 |

15 |
read it we convinced vapier otherwise. |

Also, the gentoo-functions.sh package went through several iterations before |
18 |
it was stabled, and there were no complaints. |
