But it's not universal, nor consistent. That's part of the problem. |

If you really, genuinely think you have a case for compression of docs, |
| 12 |
backed up with statistics showing that it's a relevant change, then you |
| 13 |
should write a proposal for future EAPIs for handling it, and you |
| 14 |
should do it in such a way that it works automatically for all ebuilds, |
| 15 |
without any developer intervention (but providing some way for ebuilds |
| 16 |
to disable it where necessary). |
