Uh... It's not agreed upon currently. It may be agreed upon in the |
13 |
future, but that's no good for current package managers. Current |
14 |
package managers have to be able to deal with future agreements, |
15 |
without limiting those future agreements to not being able to make |
16 |
changes like the above example. |

So we all agree that suffixes are the solution, since they solve this |
27 |
problem and in-ebuild-content restrictions don't. Good. |
