That will be difficult to explain as a behaviour, not logical to me. |

Imagine a world where every (Gentoo) user is a developer... dream... more! |

You are right - impossible. However, by bitching about problems, there are some users that decide to |
28 |
check WTF is this warning, in turn they urge devs to fix it (and that is the main point of QA, |
29 |
right?), they report it with their bug reports and so on. In other words, the problem gets _NOTICED_ |
30 |
by everybody. |

IMHO, leave it as it is now and don't bother. It is not that much of an output, compared to the |

compile output anyway. |

I'd prefer even having it red/bold/whatever for easy spotting. And for the future, what about |
36 |
defining something like GENTOO_LEVEL="n00b|user|know_how|master|admin|dev|guru" in make.conf? And |
37 |
act acording to this, but trying to move the user up a level or two most of the time. |
