Maybe a GLEP with the contents of your first mail? If there's consensus |

for the premise and the implementation, it's easy to add the variables. |

Since the change is essentially a no-op for Gentoo, I don't think it |
| 15 |
will be hard to get maintainers to accept the changes. We do however |
| 16 |
have to worry about editing stable ebuilds in-place, and maintainers who |
| 17 |
are picky about their packages being modified. |

You may wind up having to file bugs for a lot of packages that need a |

new revision. |
