Then either Gentoo should ship binary packages, or the user should find |

Gentoo *already* does a full rebuild for packages whose bumps or |
| 21 |
revbumps just result in one text file changing. So long as there isn't |

a mechanism and full ebuild support in place to prevent this, it's a |
| 23 |
silly argument. |
