OK, maybe it's useful for developers. And particularly in the case of |
| 16 |
libraries, my point may not be as relevant. But in the interest of being |
| 17 |
consistent, it should be the same throughout. |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
But as a user, if I'm looking for a database, I'd look at dev-db. I |
| 20 |
wouldn't expect it to be sitting in dev-ruby or something because it's |
| 21 |
written in Ruby. As a user, I don't particularly care what language |
| 22 |
something is in. For example, darcs is in Haskell. So what? I can still |
| 23 |
emerge it. |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
I'm just voicing my objection -- if you decide to go ahead anyway and |
| 26 |
they're your packages, good for you. =) |

Thanks, |
