9 It hasn't stopped, is just that the devs don't exactly know how to
10 continue. In particular, with glibc and all of the toolchain packages,
11 there is a lot of historical cruft in the ebuilds and associated
12 eclasses. The devs are discussing how to move on forward with this;
13 the issue of /etc/init.d/functions.sh is secondary or even tertiary to
14 this. Check [1] for an example thread of the kind of discussion
15 happening.

17 I've been using my own functions.sh file for years. At its core, is
18 basically a cosmetic issue; functions.sh never provided nothing more
19 than a few shell functions to print pretty messages on the console.
