You could give them all a grace period for which have to comply with |
| 8 |
the new standard by then end of it, and have ( during that grace |
| 9 |
period ) an automatic symlink generation based on that make.conf flag. |

And just to make sure, I doubt it would be too difficult to have an |
| 12 |
application that analyises packages as they install to check whether |
| 13 |
they reference make.profile or not, and flag a QA warning if they do. |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
And packages that don't switch to the standard by the end of the grace |
| 16 |
period I guess we'll see on a "last rites" bulletin ;) |
