I'm saying that /usr/portage/news should be the *official* source where |
| 13 |
users should go to find the info. http://erata.g.o would be a secondary |
| 14 |
source, that while officially supported, is not the main source. |

The reason is that errata.g.o would not be able to offer the same user |
| 17 |
experience as emerge --news would. errata.g.o does NOT know about the |
| 18 |
local system (nor should it), and thus might be bloated with unneeded |
| 19 |
information. When I'm working at updating a system, I'm not interested in |
| 20 |
knowing that winex-cvs has been removed at transgaming's request (old |
| 21 |
news, as example). If however I was someone using winex-cvs, I'd be very |
| 22 |
interested. See the point. |
