Yes, they are risky and complex. And many things which possibly could |
| 11 |
help us, simply don't work on Gentoo. Sometimes because of PMS |
| 12 |
stupidity, sometimes because we feel like ugly hacks done by users |
| 13 |
should simply work. |

We already give a lot of thought and care to handle the moves but we |
| 16 |
still miss some essential tool which could help us handle them better. |
| 17 |
Most importantly, which would allow us to avoid forcing users to have |
| 18 |
half-moved system. |
