In other words, it's a pretty tame 'justification', especially when |
| 16 |
there're far better ones. It's like saying that vim is better than nano |

because the name is one character less to type in. |

We're gonna need another one of those "all users *must* upgrade portage |

| 26 |
dep comment before I realised how nasty the error actually was). |
