Please, please, please stop throwing the XML hammer around like that. |
| 12 |
|

Yes, XML is human readable and editable, if you are patient. It is very |
| 14 |
easy to break when editting by hand. |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
XML is meant to be machine readable and parsable, throwing everything and |
| 17 |
the kitchen sink into XML is not the answer to everything. |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
It also potentially adds another set of libraries that are needed by |
| 20 |
Gentoo Utilities and Portage to process the file. |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
OTOH it would increase the buzz word compliance of Gentoo -- Gentoo, now |
| 23 |
with improved XML config files (so it *must* be better) :) |
