OK, so you want to absolutely kill dead the only current sane way for |
| 7 |
developers who use Gentoo to ship static binaries to their users' |
| 8 |
target systems? Drive them away to another Linux distro that does |
| 9 |
support being the build platform that they need? Or force everyone to |
| 10 |
use EXTRA_ECONF"--enable-static" and hope for them that it works for |
| 11 |
all packages? All just because static linking *between* ebuilds is bad? |

You could just as well work on stopping the package manager from linking |
| 17 |
to static libraries instead and leave other developers to add |
| 18 |
IUSE=static-libs as they please, so that no one has to worry about |
| 19 |
static linking of packages that we do support in the package manager. |

Please rethink your stated opinion thoroughly. |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
Also, please drop "random" from every odd sentence you post - it makes |
| 24 |
your target audience feel like they're idiots who "didn't get it". |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
Also, please stop marketing your opinions as set in stone policy - |
| 27 |
you're here to discuss things and develop policy, but your condescending |
| 28 |
and authoritarian tone isn't helping the argument. |
