Given the nature that changing that CXX Flag globally for all users |
| 7 |
could cause many packages to spontaneously fail to build, wouldn't |
| 8 |
that imply that changing that flag would essentially be de-stabilizing |
| 9 |
the whole tree, and a package being (arch) would no longer be an |
| 10 |
indication of sane, tested behaviour? |

This is really the perk of the USE driven process, the granular |
| 13 |
piecemeal approach that does only as much as necessary, without |
| 14 |
changing things that are already stable. |
