I beg to differ. The tree should be the central point because it's the only |
| 10 |
known place where all users can receive relevant information on and for each |
| 11 |
and every system they maintain right before they upgrade. |

The warning and the logic that triggers its display should be part of Portage. |
| 13 |
Sometimes, all that would need to be displayed is "run foo to fix bar" or |
| 14 |
"Please do read http://bleh _before_ you upgrade foo". |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
If an "Upgrade guide to foo/bar for Gentoo" is required, you need an author to |
| 17 |
write it, not extra code or an extra web site. |
