7 Looks like that was <https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=420493> .

9 I'm not sure whether the underlying issue was enforcement, or just
10 handling various use cases.
11
12 Similar situation with qt/qt4/qt5 seems to confirm to me that it's not
13 whims that make people not follow the policy, but real needs and use cases.

22 Also, most blocking bugs seem to be resolved as WONTFIX/WORKSFORME/INVALID.

24 FWIW I do care. For now responses on this thread seem to recommend (or
25 be at least OK with) adding gtk3 USE flag to www-client/chromium . If
26 there's an alternative solution endorsed by GNOME or QA team that would
27 make progress on <https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=559378>
28 possible, I'd just switch to that solution.
