Without deterministic ebuilds, we can never have: |
| 33 |
* a safe unmerge or depclean without a preemptive revdep-rebuild (a big |
| 34 |
performance issue) |
| 35 |
* a guarantee of working binary packages unless building each from a fresh |
| 36 |
stage 2 (a huge QA burden if not doing so and a PITA besides) |
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
I can't think of any others at the moment. |
