I have to disagree: |

|
| 15 |
BAD: . |
| 16 |
GOOD: Purge old ebuilds |

It's not really specific to the subject at hand, but it does /sort of/ |
| 19 |
tell you to write ChangeLog entries for removals. :) |

I agree with you that logging removals isn't needed as their absence is |
| 22 |
plain evidence. I do tend to log removals when there is a very good |
| 23 |
reason other than that the version has been superseded, like when a |
| 24 |
certain version kills kittens or has security issues. I agree with |
| 25 |
everyone else that policy should be clarified and that the devmanual |
| 26 |
needs to reflect policy. |
