Why should we mangle with packages this way? I mean, to me Gentoo was |
| 19 |
one of the few distros that allowed real choice for users (systemd vs |
| 20 |
openrc, selinux or !selinux, etc.). We shouldn't be making choices on |
| 21 |
behalf of users. The best we can do is to open issues for whatever IRC |
| 22 |
client we have in portage to switch from freenode to something different. |

BTW: not everybody is switching from freenode to libera.chat. |
