Yes, it is; but a package consists of multiple ebuilds, and thus, the |
| 9 |
individual files of the individual ebuilds are brought up as they |
| 10 |
would need to be tracked, which brings in more work to the maintainer. |

The quoted paragraph is directed at anyone reading the example; and |
| 23 |
given I direct it to them, you are directed to as part of this out |
| 24 |
of respect to allow you to update the example if you need to. |

Why is it rude? There are a lot of other developers on the list here |
| 29 |
that do this as well; so, if you want to see this changed then please |
| 30 |
bring it up for a vote. Un-CC-ed and stripped this time per request; |
| 31 |
being able to set this on a specific person, however, I don't see how |
| 32 |
to do that in my mailing client. Patches to do as such are welcome. |
