*shrug* I looked into this back when the issue first arose with the |
12 |
ppc-macos port. I and several others worked out that it'd be a heck of a |
13 |
lot of effort for virtually no gain on the sed issue (this isn't the |
14 |
case for most other core apps) -- after all, isn't the point of |
15 |
Gentoo/blah to replace a lot of the lame blah-provided tools with |
16 |
something better? |

Well, see... If these extensions are sufficient to cover everything in |
22 |
the tree and everything that is ever likely to be in the tree, then |
23 |
there isn't a problem. I strongly suspect that this won't be the case. |
