No, I mean to say that PMS was deliberately written to follow Gentoo |
| 16 |
policy at the time it was written, which said that EXTRA_* is |
| 17 |
considered to be there specifically for user use, and mustn't be used |
| 18 |
by ebuilds. |

Cut it out. The Council makes the rules, not you, and the Council says |
| 23 |
that PMS, not what works with one particular Portage version, dictates |
| 24 |
what ebuilds can and cannot do. The whole "waah waah, I'm not only |
| 25 |
ignoring PMS, but I'm going to post to the mailing lists moaning about |
| 26 |
it" thing is getting old. |
