I believe this is reasoning is no longer valid. Current versions of |
| 11 |
Portage accepts inline comments just fine (so does pkgcore). So, your |
| 12 |
logic for PMS not allowing inline comments is based on "some [...] |
| 13 |
[old] Portage versions" and does not specify current Portage |
| 14 |
behaviour. IMO, it should be fixed to reflect majority (and |
| 15 |
specifically portage) behaviour. |

Interesting to note, however, that Paludis doesn't accept inline |
| 18 |
comments, and this behaviour predates PMS. |
