I understand this comment so that there was already a discussion about |
| 15 |
deprecating and removing EGO_SUM. I usually try to follow what's going |
| 16 |
on Gentoo and I remember the discussion about introducing dependency |
| 17 |
tarballs. But I apparently have missed the part where EGO_SUM was slated |
| 18 |
for removal. And it appears I am not the only one, at least Ionen also |
| 19 |
wrote "Missed bits and pieces but was never quite sure why this went |
| 20 |
toward full deprecation, just discouraged may have been fair enough, …". |

In any case, I am sorry for bringing this discussion up again. But since |
| 23 |
I started rehashing this, no arguments why EGO_SUM should be removed |
| 24 |
have been provided. And so far, I failed to find the old discussions |
| 25 |
where I'd hope to find some rationale behind the deprecation of EGO_SUM. :/ |
