If people want an interactive mode, we can add one (I have no reason to oppose |
| 15 |
it, as long as a non-interactive build is the default). It could be really |
| 16 |
handy. But we need the new USE system first. In the meantime, I have no |
| 17 |
problem with you discussing how you'd like an interactive build mode to work, |
| 18 |
since we'll most likely add one eventually. |
