s/would/could/ ? Anyway, sure, there's plenty of things we could do |
| 17 |
that we shouldn't. Forcing a hack by users (USE=test) when a hack by |
| 18 |
devs is available is one such thing, in my opinion. Yes, I'm aware |
| 19 |
that relevant people think FEATURES in USE_EXPAND is a bad idea, and |
| 20 |
I'm not sure I disagree. I think as a temporary workaround until a |
| 21 |
clean fix is available, it beats the current situation, though. |
