As one of the maintainers of the gnome-base/gnome meta, I fail to see |
| 14 |
the usefulness of such a change. We have yet to ask users to rebuild |
| 15 |
"gnome" completely. Do you have any specific use cases (maybe coming |
| 16 |
from the KDE herd, since you used the kde meta as an example) ? |
| 17 |
|

The one thing that bothers me about this is consistency: if, say, xfce |
| 19 |
(let's change ;) ) decides to use PROPERTIES=set, users will have a |
| 20 |
different experience with their ebuild than with the other metas we |
| 21 |
currently ship. |

|

All in all, I'm not really against such a change, however I really fail |
| 24 |
to see the win for everyone, end-users included. |
