It's time to add a "offendme" FEATURE similar to the "offensive" USE |
| 23 |
flag. Unsetting the FEATURE should add --exclude '*fuck*' --exclude |
| 24 |
'*bitch*' --exclude '*evoluion*', etc. to the rsync command line. Boy, |
| 25 |
I'd love to see that implemented :)) |

Also add dev-libs/hashit to the list. The last 4 letters are way too |
| 28 |
offensive. |
