Removal of the virtual/emacs ebuilds won't remove the installed package |
| 10 |
from users' systems. It will eventually disappear, when all its reverse |
| 11 |
dependencies have been updated. Why would its continued presence as an |
| 12 |
installed package (for another while) cause any problems? |

Revbumping its more than 400 reverse dependencies really doesn't sound |
| 15 |
so attractive, and would cause rebuilds on users' systems for virtually |
| 16 |
(pun intended :-) no benefit. |
