Well if people are scared about there could always be a profile |
| 11 |
dir with the name "development" "devonly" "broke" "unsupported" |
| 12 |
"3rdparty" or whatever (I don't really care). But i guess no |
| 13 |
matter how obviously it is, someone will always object. |

I'd say everything outside default-linux is fine. If you use |
| 16 |
something outside default-linux, some documentation must have |
| 17 |
suggested it to you anyway. |

With a deprecated (or similar info) the warning sign is big |
| 20 |
enough. If someone ignores all warnings and breaks his system |
| 21 |
i honestly wouldn't care. I don't even think this is necessary, |
| 22 |
but maybe it'll make a few more people accept it. |

If we can't even add something this small and trivial for |
| 25 |
development, we're doomed and there will be no progress anymore |
| 26 |
but only poinless huge discussions. |
