19 Common sence must prevail over formal approaches. While PMS is
20 great, it is not perfect in all possible aspects, and this one is
21 one of them.

23 I see no point in trashing ebuilds with dead code that will never
24 be used. Though if there will be a PMS or eclass function with
25 "proper" implementation, I don't mind, since extra code will be
26 moved from ebuild elsewhere.
